Veteran reporter Jack McEvoy has taken down killers before, but when a woman he had a one-night stand with is murdered in a particularly brutal way, McEvoy realizes he might be facing a criminal mind unlike any he's ever encountered. McEvoy investigates--against the warnings of the police and his own editor--and makes a shocking discovery that connects the crime to other mysterious deaths across the country. But his inquiry hits a snag when he himself becomes a suspect. As he races to clear his name, McEvoy's findings point to a serial killer working under the radar of law enforcement for years, and using personal data shared by the victims themselves to select and hunt his targets.

Damn, I enjoyed this book. Definitely my favorite Connelly from the last few years, alongside the first Renee Ballard book. Connelly writes crime novels exactly as I like them and I eagerly await the new book each fall. This year we get spoiled with two books coming out.

What I enjoy so much in Connelly's books is the puzzle that is being solved, mixed with some nice action. Characters are great and mostly act like adults. Normal adults with flaws. And the villain is not some invincible, perfect genius. He makes mistakes. The story, too, was good. It's about DNA, privacy and IT security without being ridiculous about it (coughDan Browncough).

Recommended for everyone who enjoys a good puzzle being solved by mature characters.
