Very good mystery about a scientist who tries to find out why he gets calls on his new phone intended for a prostitute. Leads to murder and industrial espionage.

Chasing the Dime is a very disturbing story and very difficult to read. The main character is not likeable because he is just stupid in things that he does. The coincidences are Shakespearean and annoying. The story does not get good until the last few chapters but in order to understand what has happened one has had to wade through all of the book. Molecular biology is very interesting and scary. But in order to really understand my previous comment, one has to know what chasing the dime is and how Science Fiction is becoming a reality. Four stars were awarded to this book. ( )

One of his worst ever. Boring. ( )

I thought this was going to be medical drama ike a Chrichton novel, but soon it turned into an edge-of-your seat page turner. Now one of my favorite Connelly books. ( )

I listened to this as an audiobook which said that the text was abridged for the audio. It did have an abrupt ending and was a rather convoluted story.
More so than in the other Connelly books, the action and tension were almost constant once started. ( )

It doesn't have the urgency of his best work, but it also avoids his tendency to work in one plot twist too many until the plausibility of his story falls to bits... Still, "Chasing the Dime" is well-plotted and it holds your interest, and it's easy to picture the book's high-tech shenanigans translating well to the screen.
