The Poet

The Apparent Suicide Of His Policeman Brother Sets Denver Crime Reporter Jack Mcevoy On Edge. Surprise At The Circumstances Of His Brother'S Death Prompts Jack To Look Into A Whole Series Of Police Suicides, And Puts Him On The Trail Of A Cop Killer Whose Victims Are Selected All Too Carefully. Not Only That, But They All Leave Suicide Notes Drawn From The Poems Of Writer Edgar Allan Poe In Their Wake. More Frightening Still, The Killer Appears To Know That Jack Is Getting Nearer And Nearer. An Investigation That Looks Like The Story Of A Lifetime Might Also Be Jack'S Ticket To A Lonely End.

The Scarecrow

Jack McEvoy is at the end of the line as a crime reporter. Forced to take a buy-out from the LA Times, he's got 30 days left on the job. His last assignment? Training his replacement, a low-cost reporter just out of J-school. But Jack has other plans for his exit. He is going to go out with a bang: a final story that will win the newspaper journalism's highest honour - a Pulitzer prize. Jack focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer from the projects who has confessed to police that he brutally raped and strangled one of his crack clients. But as Jack delves into the story he soon realises that Alonzo's so-called confession is bogus. The investigation leads him to a killer known as The Scarecrow, who has worked completely below the police and FBI radar. Jack is soon off and running on the biggest story he's had since The Poet crossed his path twelve years before - but The Scarecrow knows he's coming...

Fair Warning
