Rendition Toward Books Chasing the Dime

The messages waiting for Henry Pierce when he plugs in his new telephone clearly aren't intended for him: "Where is Lilly? This is her number. It's on the site."

Pierce has just been thrown out by his girlfriend and moved into a new apartment, and the company he founded is headed into the most critical phase of fund-raising. He's been "chasing the dime" - doing all it takes to come out first in a technological battle whose victor will make millions. But he can't get the messages for a woman named Lilly out of his head:

"Uh, yes, hello, my name is Frank. I'm at the Peninsula. Room six twelve. So give me a call when you can."

Something is wrong. Pierce probes, investigates, and then tumbles through a hole, leaving behind a life driven by work to track down and help a woman he has never met.

The world he enters is one of escorts, websites, sex, and secret passions. The beautiful Lilly is an object of desire to thousands. To Pierce, she becomes the key that might fix a broken life. But in pursuing Lilly, Pierce has entered a landscape where his success and expertise mean nothing. He is a mark, an outsider, and soon he is also the victim of astonishing violence, the chief suspect in a murder case, and fighting for his life against forces he can barely discern.

Rate Based On Books Chasing the Dime

Non-Harry Bosch a little light on plausibility, but still fun!It's a remarkable coincidence that in the very same month (Nov. 2002) that Michael Crichton published "Prey", a novel about nanotechnology and minuscule robots, Michael Connelly brings out a book on virtually the identical subject. Protagonist whiz kid Henry Pierce is about to patent amazing new technology that will power molecular-sized computers, capable of being injected into blood streams (for example) to ward off disease and

Amazon's review sums up the plot: "Henry Pierce is about to become very rich--as soon as his firm, Amedeo Technologies, gets an infusion of capital from a big backer. But the brilliant chemist's workaholic habits are disrupted when his lover, the former intelligence officer of his company, breaks up with him. Lonely and dispirited, he moves into a new apartment and gets a new phone number that attracts a lot of callers, but not for him. His new telephone number seems to have previously belonged

Audiobook - 10:33 Hours - Narrator: Alfred MolinaListened to: 05:44 - Balance: 04:49 1Star DNFI know this was written in 2002 when Michael Connelly was a bit less than half-way through his incomparable Harry Bosch series, but "Chasing the Dime" reads (sounds) like it was written by an entirely different author. I had been saving this for "no Bosch, rainy day" but it is very poorly written and totally unenjoyable! Sad to say, more than half-way through, I am done with it and it is definitely a

A couple of days ago, I wrote a review complaining because one of my favorite authors, John Lescroart, had set a plot into motion by having his protagonist do something incredibly stupid. Now, another of my favorite authors, Michael Connelly, has done exactly the same thing.In Connelly's defense, this book was first published in 2002. It's his eleventh book overall, and does not feature Harry Bosch or any of the other series characters that Connelly has introduced through the years. The

I still have great memories of this book! I purchased and read this in the hardback edition and loaned it to several relatives. I kept recommending it and never got it back.I've read several of the Hieronymus Bosch novels (and liked them a lot) but I differ from most reviewers in that I liked this more. I've drifted away from police procedural's toward psychological thrillers but sometimes have an itch to re-visit former flames.

4.25 Stars, another great Bosch story.

An effective crime thriller about the troubled mastermind of a high-tech firm in beautiful downtown Santa Monica, California. While I was reading it I often thought to myself, "Wow, Santa Monica is an awesome place, with year-round nice weather and all kinds of hip, successful, intelligent people. How does Connelly make it seem so scary and dangerous?" Connelly's "Harry Bosch" novels really haven't captured my interest but Chasing the Dime is great for some quick chills and thrills.
