The Poet (novel)
The Poet is a crime thriller novel, and the fifth novel by American author Michael Connelly. Published in January 28, 1996 by Little, Brown and Company, it is the first of Connelly's novels not to feature Detective Harry Bosch and the first to feature Crime Reporter Jack McEvoy. A sequel, The Scarecrow, was published in 2009. The Poet won the 1997 Dilys Award. The story is told in first-person narrative from the perspective of reporter Jack McEvoy. At times, a first-person narrative is also used for a mysterious character named "Eidolon". While telling the story from the viewpoint of pedophile William Gladden, Connelly uses third-person narrative. The book also features the first appearance of FBI agent Rachel Walling, a recurring character in Connelly's novels. In April 2004, The Poet was reissued in paperback with an introduction by Stephen King.
