Fair Warning by Michael Connelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Veteran reporter Jack McEvoy has taken down killers before, but when a woman he had a one-night stand with is murdered in a particularly brutal way, McEvoy realizes he might be facing a criminal mind unlike any he's ever encountered.
Enter the villain nick named "The Shrike".
Shrikes (/ʃraɪk/) are carnivorous passerine birds of the family Laniidae. The family is composed of 33 species in four genera. The family name, and that of the largest genus, Lanius, is derived from the Latin word for "butcher", and some shrikes are also known as butcherbirds because of their feeding habits.
Jack McEvoy discovers that several women are being murdered in a particular way and then the murders are masked by staging scenes of accidents and suicides. We are given an eye opener into the world of DNA and how it can be used against us.
An excellent read.
