Summary: Harry's a PI Now and He's Better than Ever
Comment: Harry Bosch has left the LAPD and now has a PI license. When he left the job, Harry took files from an unsolved case with him. A two million dollar robbery on a movie set had left one man dead, another wounded and one of the robbers had been wounded by Bosch himself. Prior to the robbery, the production assistant for the movie company, Angella Benton, had been murdered. Now Bosch feels the two crimes were related.
Quadriplegic former fellow officer Lawton Cross, whose partner was killed in the same incident that wounded him, was shot in the line of duty. His memory was partially affected by the injuries, but he wants Harry to track down the criminals. Bosch, meanwhile, is haunted by the memory of Angella Benton's hands as she lay dead.
During the course of his investigation Harry runs foul of the FBI as he becomes involved in the disappearance of a woman agent who is tied to the crimes he is examining. Harry is challenged emotionally as well, when he has to turn to his ex-wife for help in his case.
This is a dark story with depressing themes and lots of violence, blood and gore. It's also a page turner of the first order. The action is furiously fast, the characters are all too real and for Bosch buffs like me, it's not to be missed.

Summary: Harry Bosch Back In Action
Comment: For anyone who thought Harry Bosch was over and done with, think again. This is a great book that will keep you guessing and has a surprise ending. Also, interestingly, it is told in the first person by Bosch. If you have never read Michael Connelly's books, just wait until you find out what you've been missing! If you've read all but this one, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: A Must Read . . .
Comment: I found this book to be compelling and suspenseful - one of the best in the series. While I don't really like Harry Bosch the man, the complexity of his character makes him both interesting and real. He is further developed in this novel yet he continues to juggle right and wrong, arrogance and experience in his pursuit of justice on a four year old murder case. The plot is fascinating and weaves into it a number of events and characters. The reader moves right along with Bosch (all the more easily due to the first-person narration), as he tries, and eventually succeeds, in putting all the pieces together.
The book includes a look at post September 11 law enforcement practices that should give us all pause and continues to examine the dark side of human nature while still managing to provide an ending full of hope and promise. A must-read . . .
