Newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to use his final days at the LA Times to write the definitive murder story of his career.

Good Read.

Jack McEvoy isn't an overly likable guy. He's whiny, nosy, and pretty insecure. However, you don't have to like a protagonist to enjoy reading about him. The inclusion of Rachel Walling makes this a nice read for fans of the Bosch universe of books.
