The bestselling and award-winning author Michael Connelly returns with his 28th book, the 20th featuring Harry Bosch. Bosch has now retired from his detective role at the LAPD, and finds himself at a loose end. It’s not long until his half-brother, The Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller calls on him for help with a murder case.
The little reputation he has left within his old police department is threatened when, against his better judgement, he decides to investigate the story behind a murder conviction Mickey is convinced is a set-up. Suspicious that there is something is awry with the original police investigation, he starts to look closely at the case, following his own leads and discovers, with help from his former LAPD partner Lucia Soto, things are not as they should be within the police department. As the truth reveals itself, Bosch becomes the next target.
For a book with so many interlinking tales, it is a slow burn, but it’s worth the persistence as the drama builds – and you don’t need to have read the full Bosch back-catalogue either.
