Lost

Harry
Bosch #9
By Michael
Connelly
As you
may remember from City of Bones, Homicide Detective Harry
Bosch resigned from the Los Angeles Police Department after 28 years.
Retirement doesn't work well for Harry, and now he begins thinking
about the unsolved murder of Angella Benton, an investigation he
was briefly involved in four years before. Her hands haunt him;
they seemed to be reaching out to him personally when he saw her
corpse at the scene of her death, and he decides to use his newly
acquired Private Investigator license to see if he can dig up anything
new on that case.
Angella's
murder coincided with a two million dollar heist during the filming
of a movie, and the disappearance of an FBI computer whiz who discovered
that some of the serial numbers of the stolen money were not right.
The newly-formed Homeland Security Division of the FBI feels that
Harry is compromising their investigation, and they want him off
the case. They threaten him with serious consequences if he doesn't
back off, and hint that terrorism is involved.
Like
all of Connelly's stories, this powerful novel is impossible to
put down as it draws you at breakneck speed into the increasingly
complicated plot. It's hard to tell who the bad guys are until the
very end...and this ending has a real jolt for Harry Bosch fans.
After all the unpleasant surprises throughout the book, the ending
shock will leave you with a smile.
