The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly

Michael Connelly is one of my favorite authors. Scarecrow is an internet security business. The book concerns the crashing newspaper economy and the shift of society to the internet for news and advertising.
Jack McEnvoy,a veteran crime reporter for the Los Angeles Times, is laid off and has one last story to write. Jack is antiquated and assigned internet savy reporter Angela Cook.
Jack connects a L.A. trunk murder with an earlier similar murder. FBI special agent and profiler Rachel Walling is asked to resign because of Jack and his investigation. The killer uses the internet to track Jack and has complete knowledge of every move Jack makes. Jack uses years of knowledge as a crime reporter to seek the killer.
Who is the scarecrow and what is the motivation??? Is too much of our lives available on the internet????
