Chasing the Dime

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

Henry Pierce has a whole new life - new apartment, new telephone, new telephone number. But the first time he checks his messages, he discovers that someone had the number before him. The messages on his line are for a woman named Lilly, and she is in some kind of serious trouble.

Pierce is inexorably drawn into Lilly's world, and it's unlike any world he's ever known. It is a night-time world of escort services, websites, sex, and secret identities. Pierce tumbles through a hole, abandoning his orderly life in a frantic race to save the life of a woman he has never met.

Pierce's skills as a computer entrepreneur allow him to trace Lilly's last days with some precision. But every step into Lilly's past takes him deeper into a web of inescapable intricacy - and a decision that could cost him everything he owns and holds dear.

Doesn’t feel like a Michael Connelly book

Only far down the book, as much as 70% into it does it begin to feel like a Michael Connelly novel when psychological profiling comes into play. It seems as though it’s been ghost written. Though still not such a bad listen.

Audio quality

Sound quality’s not good and sounds like this was recorded in the 1970s which didn’t help with the weak story line.
