This is the sequel to the first Michael Connelly book I read. In March. That's right, a month later and I'm back for more. (I see your smirk, Adam.)Opening 8 years after the action from The Poet closed, it draws FBI agent Rachel Walling back. Walling had been booted from the FBI's good graces and posted in smalltown North Dakota as a result of some blunders made in the original Poet case. However, the killer really only wants Walling on his trail.
Meanwhile, Harry Bosch (Connelly's main recurring character) has been hired independently to investigate a former LAPD partner's death. Inevitably, their sleuthings lead them to each other and...dun dun dun...."the narrows". Mostly I think it's lame that the title doesn't become remotely relevant until the last few chapters.
While I won't be regaling these books as literature, or even respectable reading, Connelly can whip out 500 pages of a 2 day addiction from me. And, yes, I found The Scarecrow at a thrift store for $3, so I'll be reviewing that one soon.
