Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang using his final days at the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career.
He focuses on Alonzo Winslow a sixteen-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story Jack realizes that Winslows so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent.
Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poet made his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar-and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jacks.
