The Poet

Product Information

Jack goes on the trail of a serial killer of police officers nicknamed "The Poet", and ends up hunting an Internet pedophile named William Gladden. Además de la narración en primera persona de Jack, tenemos la voz del sospechoso, que fue intensa debido al tema pero bastante esencial para la historia. Jack forces his way into the investigation and so has a close up view of the investigation and the hunt for the perpetrator who becomes known as The Poet. No se sabe cuánto tiempo porque todas y casa una de sus víctimas, hasta ahora, fueron en su día confundidas con suicidios.

His twin brother, homicide detective Sean McEvoy, has recently been found dead, presumably a suicide, by a shotgun blast to the head. Michael Connelly breaks these rules in The Poet and in the follow-up novel, The Narrows by mixing the first and third person. Cuando se decide a escribir sobre el asunto, descubre el rastro de El Poeta, un asesino en serie que ha dejado junto a sus ocho víctimas, todas ellas policías, falsas notas de suicidio con versos de Edgar Allan Poe.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Published in 1996, it is the first of Connelly's novels not to feature Detective Harry Bosch and first to feature Crime Reporter Jack McEvoy.

Jack finds evidence suggesting that the killer has a connection to the FBI, tracing a "boasting" fax back to Thorson.

Private investigator Harry Bosch confronts a villain who’s long been in hiding – a fiend known as The Poet. It certainly takes place in the same gritty US crime atmosphere - FBI agent Rachel Walling is even an import from previous Bosch novels - but McEvoy as a character is a little more grounded, a little more professionally certain of himself, a little less angst ridden, a little less sure of his relationships with the fairer sex and - well, just different than Harry!
