I've always thought the secret to dealing with death was to keep it at arm's length. But my rule didn't protect me …
Shocked by his brother's death, Jack McEvoy, crime reporter, investigates a surprising rise in police suicides. A disturbing pattern of coincidences suggests that a cop-killer is choosing his victims with terrible care. Coast-to-coast Jack follows a trail of unusual 'suicide notes'. He may be on to the story of a lifetime, but scarier still 'the Poet' knows that Jack is on his trail.
