Book Review: Chasing the Dime by Michael Connelly

This stand alone novel by Michael Connelly dates back to 2002. Henry Pierce is on the verge of a breakthrough in the nanotechnology field that will make him a very rich man indeed. However, his devotion to his task mean that his relationship folds. He moves into a new apartment with a new residential phone. He keeps getting calls on this new line for an escort girl, Lilly Quinlan.

Pierce obsessively tries to track her down. He finds the internet site for the company she works for but she has gone missing. He follows the trail and is soon embroiled with some very nasty people indeed. However, Henry sticks to his task as he has a link to Lilly as his own sister was killed by a serial killer while working as a hooker.

The novel is frankly not one of Michael Connelly's best, I am much happier in the world of Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller.

I would give this novel 7/10.
