The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly follows Jack McEvoy at what seems to be the end of his career as a crime reporter. Facing cuts, he has only 30 days left on the job. His final task? Training his young replacement. However, Jack has different plans. He intends to leave with a bang by crafting a story worthy of journalism’s highest accolade: the Pulitzer Prize.

Jack's focus shifts to a 16-year-old drug dealer who has allegedly confessed to a brutal murder. Yet, he quickly realises that the confession is false. His investigation unveils a killer known as The Scarecrow, who has remarkably evaded police detection.

Jack is propelled into the biggest story he has covered since his encounter with The Poet twelve years prior. But the stakes are high, as The Scarecrow is fully aware that Jack is on his trail...
