(5 out of 5)
Former FBI Agent Terry McCaleb is two months into recovery from a heart transplant when Graciela Rivers shows up unannounced on his boat to ask him to help solve her sister's murder. At first, McCaleb refuses because of his health. But when Graciela tells him that his heart came from her murdered sister, McCaleb is shocked into agreeing to help her. It seems that the LAPD aren't doing much, because it looks like Gloria, Graciela's sister, was simply another victim of a convenience store robbery. But as McCaleb puts the pieces together, starting with the surveillance video of the robbery, he comes to a grim realization that the robbery was just a front for a more sinister scheme.
Terry McCaleb is no ordinary hero. He's frail yet relentless. He's conducting an investigation without a badge or a private investigator's license. He can't even drive himself. The cold blooded killer craftily plants evidence to set him up. And now the police are after him. Will McCaleb's newly transplanted heart succumb to the stress of the investigation? Is he going to take the fall? The journey that Michael Connelly has created for Terry McCaleb is definitely worth following on every page. Connelly expertly weaves a tension filled, page turning crime novel with a surprise ending. A definite must read!
