Description

PRAISE FOR THE REVERSAL :"Each of his books is so much more than the sum of its parts....Connelly writes true-to-life fiction about true crime. What makes his crme stories ring true is that they're never really over."― Janet Maslin, New York Times "Thank God for Michael Connelly....Connelly retains his journalistic gifts; his eye for detail is spot on....Taken together, his 22 novels form an indispensible, compelling chronicle of L.A."― Jonathan Shapiro, Los Angeles Times "Mr. Connelly, a former journalist, is a master of mixing realistic details of police work and courtroom procedure with the private feelings and personal lives of his protagonists, and of building suspense even as he evokes the somber poetry inherent in battling the dark side."― Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal "Another of Connelly's brilliant Los Angeles crime novels."― Les Roberts, Cleveland Plain Dealer "Connelly's prose is so smooth that it looks easy....The product of a master fully in command of his craft."― Robin Vidimos, Denver Post "Connelly knows his way around a police investigation, and he knows his way around a courtroom. This knowledge makes his stories believable while his writing skills make them come alive....An exciting writer and one we love to read."― Jackie K. Cooper, Huffington Post Michael Connelly is the author of thirty-three novels, including #1 New York Times bestsellers Dark Sacred Night, Two Kinds of Truth, and The Late Show . His books, which include the Harry Bosch series and the Lincoln Lawyer series, have sold more than seventy-four million copies worldwide. Connelly is a former newspaper reporter who has won numerous awards for his journalism and his novels and is the executive producer of Bosch, starring Titus Welliver. He spends his time in California and Florida.

Features & Highlights

  • In his fierce search for a new case, Detective Harry Bosch discovers a killer hiding behind suspicious DNA evidence -- and a political conspiracy that could destroy the Los Angeles Police Department.
  • DNA from a 1989 rape and murder matches a 29-year-old convicted rapist. Was he an eight-year-old killer or has something gone terribly wrong in the new Regional Crime Lab? The latter possibility could compromise all of the lab's DNA cases currently in court.Then Bosch and his partner are called to a death scene fraught with internal politics. Councilman Irvin Irving's son jumped or was pushed from a window at the Chateau Marmont. Irving, Bosch's longtime nemesis, has demanded that Harry handle the investigation.Relentlessly pursuing both cases, Bosch makes two chilling discoveries: a killer operating unknown in the city for as many as three decades, and a political conspiracy that goes back into the dark history of the police department.

The Saga Continues

This is number 15 of the Harry Bosch series by the author. I will be reading all of them in the order that they were written. I decided to read them after viewing all seven seasons on Prime. This one focuses on two cases. One a suicide of a high profile individual and the other a cold case that turns out to involve a serial killer. If you are a fan of mystery and crime and have not read any of these books I strongly recommend you read this series.

One of the best in the series, and that's saying a lot

The now Councilman Irvin Irving, Bosch's former nemesis in the LAPD, requests that the detective lead the investigation into his son George's death. Was it an accident, a suicide, or murder? Meanwhile, Bosch is looking into a cold case from many years ago involving the rape and murder of a young woman, as new DNA evidence has materialized. Bosch always seems to be the smartest person in the room, when compared to his usually less discerning, less committed, or just plain lazy colleagues. Connelly's streamlined, no-frills writing makes this novel a pleasure to read, and no author is better at delving into the intricacies of detective work, as well as the politics and bureaucracy of a police department.
