El poeta
(Book)

Translation of: The poet.

"Dejando de lado a Harry Bosch, Connelly presenta al periodista de Denver Jack McEvoy en un intrincado caso de que los males seculares florecen en la tecnologia de Internet. El hermano gemelo de Jack, Sean, un detective de homicidios de Denver obsesionado con el asesinato y mutilacion de una joven, es encontrado en su carro, aparentemente muerto de un disparo auto-infligido, con una criptica nota escrita en el parabrisas. La investigacion de Jack revela una serie de suicidios cometidos por policias en todo el pais, los cuales tienen en comun la ""profunda preocupacion por casos recientes y los mensajes hallados provienen de escritos de Edgar Allan Poe. / Jack McEvoy is a Denver crime reporter with the stickiest assignment of his career. His twin brother, homicide detective Sean McEvoy, was found dead in his car from a self-inflicted bullet wound to the head--an Edgar Allen Poe quote smeared on the windshield. Jack is going to write the story. The problem is that Jack doesn't believe that his brother killed himself, and the more information he uncovers, the more it looks like Sean's death was the work of a serial killer. Jack's research turns up similar cases in cities across the country, and within days, he's sucked into an intense FBI investigation of an Internet pedophile who may also be a cop killer nicknamed the Poet. It's only a matter of time before the Poet kills again, and as Jack and the FBI team struggle to stay ahead of him, the killer moves in, dangerously close." --,Amazon.com.
