The Poet (1996)
Jack McEvoy specializes in
death. As a crime reporter for the Rocky Mountain News, he has seen
every kind of murder. But his professional bravado doesn't lessen the
brutal shock of learning
that his only brother is
dead, a suicide.
Jack's brother was a homicide detective, and he
had been depressed about a recent murder case, a hideously grisly one,
that he'd been unable to
solve.
McEvoy decides
that the best way to exorcise his grief is by writing a feature on
police suicides. But when he begins his research, he quickly arrives at
a stunning revelation.
Following his leads,
protecting his sources, muscling his way inside a federal investigation,
Jack grabs hold of what is clearly the story of a lifetime. He also
knows that in taking on the story,
he's making himself the most
visible target for a murderer who has eluded the greatest investigators
alive.
