Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch lands his first case: a Hollywood producer found in the trunk of his Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head. It looks like "trunk music," a Mafia hit.
The LAPD's organized crime unit is oddly uninterested, but Harry thinks they're wrong. He follows the money trail from the producer's office to Las Vegas, where he quickly finds evidence of Mafia involvement. But something about the case doesn't add up, and Harry follows a string of odd clues — glitter in the producer's cuffs, an over-the-counter medication in the Rolls' glove box — in a different direction entirely.
Just when Harry thinks he's on firm ground, the bottom falls out. Blind sided again and again, at odds with his superiors, and overwhelmed by a romance that has cropped up in the middle of the case, Harry is as off balance as he's ever been. When the picture finally comes into focus, Harry discovers a scheme many magnitudes more deadly than he imagined—with himself now one of its targets. Running on instincts and nerves, with a short fuse and everything to lose, Harry must prove himself not just by breaking the case, but by surviving it.

Not one of Connelly's best. Very predictable. Loosely defined characters.

I love Michael Connelly and his Harry Bosch series. This one is great. Keeps you guessing!

Book five in the Harry Bosch series. Good story.

Good reading for Michael Connelly readers!

great story, great characters

Bosch is back along with Rider, Edgar and Eleanor Wish. I especially liked the interaction between Bosch and his boss, Lt. Billets. I think I've read this one before, but author Connelly is so good it all seemed new and exciting. Well worth reading.

Lots of twists and turns.

Very, very good. I think Michael Connelly is at the top of the mystery/thriller genre. It just doesn't get better.
