Used. Mass Market Paperback. When a retired FBI profiler trades chasing monsters for napping on a boat, fate rudely interrupts via a transplant recipient seeking closure and a killer hunting a ghost. Michael Connelly crafts a masterclass in cardiac suspense where the hunter's ticker is literally ticking on borrowed time, making every pulse-pounding page genuinely visceral. You'll root for a protagonist who can barely drive to outpace a sadistic shadow he once chased across the City of Angels. It is a relentlessly gripping mystery that proves Connelly is simply peerless at pumping new life into the procedural.
