New Michael Connelly Novel Depicts LAT Meltdown

Michael Connelly’s book The Scarecrow, will be out next week. It’s a novel about a – wait for it – serial killer. The protagonist, however, is a LA Times scribe.

From the book:

Like the paper and ink newspaper itself, my time was over. It was about the Internet now. It was about hourly uploads to online edition and blogs. It was about television tie-ins and Twitter updates. It was about filing stories on your phone instead of using it to call rewrite.
