Chasing the Dime

fullDescription

Henry Pierce has a whole new life: a new apartment, a new telephone, a new telephone number. But the first time he checks his messages, he finds a message for the woman who had the number before him, and it seems that Lilly is in some serious trouble. Pierce is inexorably drawn into Lilly's world of escort services, Web sites, sex, and secret identities. Now, he'll abandon his orderly life in a frantic race to save the life of a woman he's never met. But every step into Lilly's past takes Pierce deeper into a web of inescapable intricacy, which leads him toward a decision that could cost him everything he owns—and everything he holds dear.

   • content: Henry Pierce is getting too many wrong numbers. When the young entrepreneur moves into a new apartment, strange phone calls from nervous men for someone named Lilly compel him on a quest that leads to murder, deception, and illicit passion. Alfred Molina gives the story a convincingly forceful reading; his voice can be both gentle and menacing and is always penetrating. The contents provide a fascinating brew of corporate intrigue, Internet sex, and hard-science nanotechnology. Connelly's story is tight, fast, and full of jarring surprises that allow readers to ignore minor plot weaknesses as they plunge toward an ultimately satisfying ending. S.E.S.

     September 16, 2002
     The copy on the galley of Connelly's slick new thriller doesn't mention Hitchcock, but most reviews probably will, with the novel's many surprises and "wrong man" plot line. Even the opening echoes Hitch's North by Northwest, in which Cary Grant's mistaken interception of a bellboy's page leads to disaster; here it's nanotechnology entrepreneur Henry Pierce's getting a phone call that triggers the trouble. The call is for a prostitute, Lilly, and it's the first of many; turns out that the Web site on which she advertises, L.A. Darlings, has Pierce's new home phone number next to a photo of gorgeous Lilly. But when Pierce visits the Web site's offices, he learns that Lilly has vanished. Where has she gone? His search to find the missing woman—prompted by his insatiable curiosity and by memories of his tragic, long-ago hunt for his sister, also a prostitute—draws Pierce into mortal danger. It also pushes him into conflict with the law, for when the cops cotton to Lilly's disappearance, Pierce becomes the number one suspect—serious bad news for this scientist whose company is being visited by a major investor in just a few days. Connelly's plotting is shrink-wrap tight, his characters—particularly Pierce, whose impulsiveness is balanced by his measured applications of the scientific method to analyze his plight—are smartly drawn. It's the rare reader who will be able to finger the villain behind all the mayhem. While very entertaining, however—this is the perfect book for a long airplane ride—the novel lacks the moral resonance and weight of Connelly's most impressive works, such as City of Bones. (One-day laydown Oct. 15).Forecast:Connelly has risen to the ranks of number one bestseller authors. Expect this to shoot to the top.

   • content: Jonathan Davis, who may be remembered by listeners for his stellar performance on the audio SNOW CRASH, among others, brings his considerable talent to this newest thriller by bestselling author Michael Connelly. Equal parts science and mystery, this new book concerns one Henry Pierce, young genius, scientist, and entrepreneur on the verge of a quantum breakthrough in nano-technology that will revolutionize the computer world. Along the way Henry stumbles onto a missing girl and, ˆ la the movie LAURA, becomes obsessed with what has become of her. Davis creates some truly wonderful characters that might have stepped right out of L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. He brings a great sense of energy to all his work that permeates throughout and transmits itself beautifully to the listener. D.G. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

     It's not Harry Bosch this time but Henry Prince, who discovers that the woman who previously had his new phone number is in dark and dirty trouble.

     Former journalist and Edgar Award winner Connelly (City of Bones) skillfully unfolds a story of obsessive curiosity and taut psychological suspense ideally suited to audio translation. A burgeoning technologies company, broken engagement and new apartment leave little time for 34-year-old workaholic chemist Henry Pierce to even check his messages. But when he does, he realizes his new telephone number was formerly that of a beautiful prostitute named Lilly, who's still receiving dozens of messages, but hasn't been heard from in over a month. Veteran audiobook narrator and actor Davis provides crisp, stage-honed vocals, with his versatile characterizations easily shifting from the Valley talk of an aging surfer/computer hacker to the hesitant pleas of Lilly's johns. Haunted by his own sister's murder, Henry eschews his normal all-business demeanor and plunges head first into the seedy sex underworld, where he befriends a hardened escort, makes a grisly discovery that may prove Lilly's demise, as well as his own, and is fingered as the prime suspect by the cops. Davis's masterful dramatizations deliver the perfect complement to Connelly's sophisticated mystery, sure to attract fans of his Harry Bosch series, as well as new listeners. Simultaneous release with the Little, Brown hardcover (Forecasts, Sept. 16).
