Connelly nails the death-of-newspapers theme....Alternating point of view between villain and reporter, Connelly builds tension expertly, using dramatic irony to its fullest, screw-tightening potential. Even confirmed Harry Bosch fans will have to admit that this Harry-less novel is one of Connelly's very best., This Bosch adventure is a great read that can't be put down. Harry's getting on in years but is still a great detective., The Scarecrow is a dire warning about the dangers of electronic snooping. And it is a page-turning thriller--cleverly plotted, fast-paced and crisply written., Connelly masterfully whips the reader back and forth between McEvoy's point of view and the killer's, accelerating the pace as the full threat to McEvoy and Rachel Walling becomes clearer. The Scarecrow is Connelly in top form. And reading it will make it impossible for you to ever again think that when you do something online, no one's watching., Connelly is one of the masters of contemporary crime fiction....Connelly's masterful narrative...proceeds in alternate chapters...which adds to this particularly chilling heavy's creepy aspect. It's a terrific device. Connelly always has been frank about his admiration for Raymond Chandler. It's a high bar to set for oneself, but he comes as close to clearing it as any mystery writer of his generation., What drives this story are not the vivid action scenes but the more internal clue-reading of his heroes as they piece together the ingenious mystery plots., With its ingenious story line and the twisted brilliance of the creeps involved, The Scarecrow holds its own with its predecessor [ The Poet ], which was a breakthrough novel for Connelly., PRAISE FOR THE OVERLOOK : "Connelly succeeds, again, at creating a first-rate crime novel--fast-paced and dizzying....Connelly, once again, has hit a home run.", There's something so comforting about knowing you're in the hands of a master when you pick up a new book....Connelly has produced one of the most impressive bodies of work in crime fiction, both an in-depth study of the darker side of human nature and an ongoing biography of the city of Los Angeles, told through the guise of sharply plotted, endlessly entertaining mystery novels., If Bosch is our detective, Connelly is our laureate, proving again that popular fiction at its best....is also literature., Terrific....Connelly never stops doling out the suspense as action leads to counteraction....His thriller is an addictive read that, once it grabs you in those first few pages, won't let go of you....High-grade entertainment., Michael Connelly is a hard-boiled pro. His novels are remarkable for their authentic detailing of police procedures.

Synopsis
Das Recht der Kunst und Kultur aller Sparten hat in den letzten Jahren an Umfang, Bedeutung und Vielfalt gewonnen. Dem entspricht die Zunahme kunstrechtlicher Publikationen. Es fehlte aber bislang eine umfassende Gesamtdarstellung, die in Form eines Lehrbuchs Wege durch das Labyrinth des Kunstrechts aufzeigt und in konziser Beschreibung dem auch nicht juristisch ausgebildeten Leser hilft, diese selber gehen zu konnen. Im dritten Band dieses Lehrbuchs stehen die Akteure marktbezogenen Verhaltens im Mittelpunkt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auf einen Schwerpunkt des Kunstrechts das Urheberrecht besonders eingegangen. Das Kunstvertragsrecht bezieht sich indes nicht nur auf urheberrechtliche Beziehungen, sondern weist eine Fulle bedeutsamer Fallgestaltungen auf. Denen wird vertieft nachgegangen, wobei auch das Recht kunstlerischer Veranstaltungen aller Sparten behandelt wird. Insgesamt geht es zunachst um die positive und zukunftsgerichtete Gestaltung solcher Vertrage. Sodann ist zu erlautern, was rechtlich gilt, wenn etwas passiert . Dabei geht es um Fragen der Verantwortung, der Haftung, des Schadensersatzes und der Versicherung von Kunst. Das Werk abschliessend wird das Internationale Privatrecht in Bezug auf Kunst kurz vorgestellt., Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career. He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent. Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poet made his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar--and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack's.
