Summary

From the #1 bestselling author of the Harry Bosch and the Lincoln Lawyer series and who "is the master of the universe in which he lives" (Huffington Post), comes the gripping novel that inspired the film starring Clint Eastwood.

When Graciella Rivers steps onto his boat, ex-FBI agent Terrell McCaleb has no idea he's about to come out of retirement. He's recuperating from a heart transplant and avoiding anything stressful. But when Graciella tells him the way her sister, Gloria, was murdered, Terry realizes he has no choice. Now the man with the new heart vows to take down a predator without a soul. For Gloria's killer shatters every rule that McCaleb ever learned in his years with the Bureau-as McCaleb gets no more second chances at life...and just one shot at the truth.

I hesitated before buying this book as I have listened to another work by this author and was less than impressed - that said I am so glad that I gave him another go, excellent story, great performance

Excellent

I have read most of Michael's books, this is the first I listened to, a d listening really enhanced the experience. I had to adjust the narration speed but that was the only glitch.

Connelly at his best

I'm a long time fan of Connelly's Bosch series but it took me years to get round to this, I'm glad I finally did!

The narration is absolutely spot on, Dick Hill delivers on all levels.

The story is an absolute blast, with just enough twists to keep you really hooked without becoming tiresome to follow. The mystery is an interesting (if a little far fetched) concept and the payoff feels satisfying.

Pick it up if you are looking for a story that will have you guessing the whole way through, you won't regret it.

Held me to the end

One of my favourite Connelly stories. Beautifully crafted, thrilling yet credible, in settings that came alive.
