The Scarecrow: A Jack McEvoy Novel

Forced out due to budget cuts, journalist Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang by writing the definitive murder story of his career.  Focusing on teenage drug dealer Alonzo Winslow, Jack is off and running with the story when he realizes Winslow might be innocent.  McEvoy finds himself tracking a killer operating completely below police radar . . . 

A former newspaper reporter himself, Connelly's experiences working the crime beat bring an element of authenticity to his work that many other authors are unable to access, and The Scarecrow illuminates this through its fast-paced plot, tension inducing suspense, and unexpected twists and turns.
