Did Private send a killer straight to the victim’s door?Craig Gisto has promised Eliza Moss that his elite team at Private Sydney will investigate the disappearance of her father. After all, as CEO of a high-profile research company, Eric Moss shouldn’t be difficult to find. Except it’s not just the man who’s gone missing—every trace of him has vanished. And they aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Powerful figures want Moss to stay “lost,” while others just as ruthless want him found. Meanwhile, a routine background check becomes a frantic race to find a stolen baby and catch a brutal killer—a killer Private may well have sent straight to the victim’s door....

MICHAEL CONNELLY’S electrifying standalone thriller that breaks all the rules— now reissued in premium size with a brand-new cover!
“Prepare to be played like a violin. Connelly wrings suspense out of every possible aspect of Jack’s obsessive hunt for his brother’s killer.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Terrifyingly realistic....Connelly’s plotting is near flawless....THE POET ranks with Thomas Harris’s The Silence of the Lambs.”
—Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
Every rhyme means death.Death is reporter Jack McEvoy’s beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write—and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn’t crack. The killer’s calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy’s own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

Lucas Cortez never planned to come back to Topaz Falls. To everyone in town, he’s the menace who set the rodeo stables on fire when he was 18. Little do they know, it wasn’t him. Lucas took the fall to protect his family. Now, with his father ill, it’s time to return home to face his brothers, the town, and the girl he left behind.

She couldn’t be more grateful—until Lucas, her disgraced high-school sweetheart, moves back to the ranch. She knows she should keep the boundaries, but it’s impossible to see anything other than the boy she once loved. Now, Lucas must decide whether protecting his family’s secret is worth losing the only woman he’s ever loved….
