Story4.5 out of 5 stars 764
In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11. But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

A very interesting, non- exploiting book tracing the arc of 'the Serial Killer business' in law enforcement.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 135
Before he became a novelist, Michael Connelly was a crime reporter, covering the detectives who worked the homicide beat in Florida and Los Angeles. In vivid, hard-hitting articles, Connelly leads the reader past the yellow police tape as he follows the investigators, the victims, their families and friends, and, of course, the killers, to tell the real stories of murder and its aftermath.

Fascinating true crime snapshots in the Sin Cities
Reviewed: 09-05-22
A very well written & performed menagerie of crime stories from the newspaper files of crime novelist Michael Connelly. He culls murder, burglary, fear, frustration, shock, and more from crimes he covered in his former life as a crime reporter in Florida then Los Angeles. Shows his writing talent was there from the start. Could be called Front Row To The Shit Show. Who killed the Queen fatter than her photos? Who killed the negotiator to the stars who ended up in his trunk? What kind of headcase commits 350 burglaries in 364 days? Great, understated narration brings the hard-boiled writing to life.

Great Narration! Hard-boiled story of the grimy LA
Reviewed: 08-10-22
This is really interesting; narrated in a cool, matter -of -fact manner that lets the events stand in their own very dark drama. Great job, Michael Connelly. The idea of podcasts left me cold: never thought they could be so captivating. This has the grit and grime of hard-boiled fiction with the polished delivery of film noir. Very varied sources bring a wide mix of voices and insights to the various scenes and players. Obviously very deeply researched. Just one former undercover policewoman's inclusion solely to describe Eddie Nash's manner and hygiene (spoiler alert: not so good) in a brief encounter with the sleazebag in his element paints him so vividly.
