Reviews

"[A] fast-paced thriller, written by a master of the genre."--Christina Ianzito, AARP

"A smart, propulsive thriller... Connelly excels in making investigative reporting as enthralling as any action scene. Fair Warning shines a spotlight on the shocking lack of government oversight in the field of DNA analysis and ancestry identification... Connelly spins a skin-crawling, cutting-edge mystery about the dangerous ways the data can be mined."--Shelf Awareness

"A truly terrifying thriller... [Jack McEvoy] has appeared in only two previous novels, but they are two of Connelly's best: The Poet and The Scarecrow. McEvoy makes it three for three with this riveting tale."--Bill Ott, Booklist (starred review)

"Connelly is in terrific form here, applying genre conventions to the real-life dangers inherent in the commercial marketing of genetics research."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review

"Darkly essential reading for every genre fan who's ever considered sending a swab to a mail-order DNA testing service."--Kirkus (starred review)

"Intruiging... Throughout his outstanding thrillers, Michael Connelly has expertly weaved contemporary issues into solid plots... Connelly also has achieved this in his novels about journalist Jack McEvoy, who makes his third most welcome appearance in Fair Warning."--Oline H. Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"Like all of Connelly's novels, Fair Warning is a satisfying adrenalin rush."--Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times

"Score another one for the dean of America's crime writers... Fair Warning sheds light on the murky billion-dollar world of DNA testing... the subject [is] ripe for a good mystery. And Michael Connelly is just the guy to write it."--Sandra Dallas, Denver Post

"There is no better news than a new book from the great Michael Connelly... Fair Warning brings back reporter Jack McEvoy, a character I always liked every bit as Harry Bosch or Mickey Haller or Renee Ballard... Connelly [is] at the very top of his game."--Mike Lupica, New York Daily News
