The Scarecrow

Newspaperman Jack McEvoy is forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid budget cuts and is given thirty days to train his replacement. Deciding to go out with a bang, he plans to write a final story that could win a Pulitzer Prize, focusing on Alonzo Winslow, a sixteen-year-old drug dealer who confessed to a brutal murder. As Jack delves into the case, he quickly realizes that Winslow's confession is bogus and the teenager may be innocent. Jack is soon on the biggest story since The Poet, tracking a killer who operates completely below the police radar, and who is known as 'The Scarecrow.' His investigation inadvertently sets off a digital tripwire, alerting the killer that Jack is on his trail, and the killer is ready to counter his every move.
