The Narrows by Michael Connelly
4.0
A loose continuation of the earlier Connelly book "The Poet", in this story characters from the earlier case of a brilliant, but psychotic FBI agent who's also a serial killer but who disappeared, ostensibly died in the earlier case appears to be back and killing again.
There are two parallel investigations going on, one by the FBI, with Rachel, who was disgraced in the earlier case, called back from exile in South Dakota because the killer sent evidence to Quantico addressed to her. But because she's disgraced, she's kept on the outside and treated as a pariah, but one who's knowledge of the murderer they need.
At the same time Harry Bosch is investigating the death of his friend Terry McCaleb, which is officially ruled a natural death, but McCaleb's wife believes is murder.
Harry and Rachel's investigations intersect and as they do the action and the story head up and race toward the ultimate conclusion.
The book is narrated wonderfully and gruffly for Harry's parts, but with nice variation for other characters voices. Enjoyable and engrossing. If you like suspense/action stories, this is recommended.
