Book Description:
The death of a teenage girl almost two decades ago comes back to haunt all of L.A. - and detective Harry Bosch in this spellbinding new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly.Members who requested this book also requested:
In Los Angeles in 1998, a 16 year old girl who had disappeared from her home was later found dead with a single gunshot wound to the chest. The death appeared at first to be a suicide, and although detectives on the case found clues that pointed toward murder, no one was ever charged. Detective Larry Bosch, newly returned to the LAPD with the job of closing unsolved cases, gets the report of a new DNA match that makes the case very much alive again. A white supremacist with close ties to the LAPD becomes a suspect but Bosch and his partner, Kizmin Rider, can't take a step without threatening higher ups in the department.
And the case turns out to be anything but cold. Everywhere he probes, Bosch finds hot grief, hot rage, and a bottomless well of treachery and danger. Enemies inside the department make Bosch wonder if he's been allowed to rejoin the LAPD only because they needed a fresh victim.

Working in the Open/Unsolved unit of the LAPD, Harry Bosch has to solve the murder of a teenage girl in 1988. Amazing how once overlooked details spring to life and how forcefully some people try to keep them covered. A good read.

Michael Connelly is (IMO) one of the finest mystery writers today... and The Closers doesn't disappoint. Love that Harry Bosch!

This book is one from the Harry Bosch series written by Michael Connelly. Harry is called back to join the elite Open/Unsolved Unit. He and his partner are assigned to solves murders whose investigations were flawed, stalled, or abandoned to L.A's tides of crime. Connelly keeps you in suspense until the very end.

Natasha S. (Great novel about Bosch re-joining the Dead Case files. His first "case" with retested DNA evidence is a doosey!
This was my first Connelly novel and was I IMPRESSED! A non stop page turner - I was upset when I had to close it to work or take care of my family. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did!
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.
He walked away from the job three years ago. But Harry Bosch cannot resist the call to join the elite Open/Unsolved Unit. His mission: solve murders whose investigations were flawed, stalled, or abandoned to L.A.'s tides of crime. With some people openly rooting for his failure, Harry catches the case of a teenager dragged off to her death on Oat Mountain, and traces the DNA on the murder weapon to a small-time criminal. But something bigger and darker beckons, and Harry must battle to fit all the pieces together. Shaking cages and rattling ghosts, he will push the rules to the limit - and expose the kind of truth that shatters lives, ends careers, and keeps the dead whispering in the night...

As usual an excellent book by this author. First of his cold case mystery series
Steph L. from MONTEREY, CA wrote on 2/5/2007...quick read.enjoyable!
Three years after retirement Harry Borsch comes back to join the elite
Open/Unsolved Unit. He and partner Kiz Rider start to work on their
first 'Cold Case', the case of a teenager taken from her bedroom and dragged off to her death on Oat Mountain and traces the DNA on the murder weapon to a small time criminal. But in typical Borsch fashion the trail does not end here.
A retired detective goes back to the force and works to solve a cold case, the murder of a young girl. I enjoyed this book and like this award-winning mystery writer.
Kathryn K. from SAN FRANCISCO, CA wrote on 1/23/2007...Very good book about closing a cold case.
