Well written, well paced plot, great sense of place. All these are part of a Michael Connelly book. This is a stand alone novel, not part of his other series books, so a good introduction to his writing style.

good book
This one is not part of the Harry Bosch series. Connelly is one of the best mystery writers around today. Articulate, literate, creative, he is for me one of those who are currently holding the gold standard. He can sometimes seem unrelentingly dark, but he's never boring, and never ever stupid.

The main character is Harry Pierce, a hard working company man who rents a new apartment and ends up as a prime suspect in a murder case. Quite interesting.
