If you're a Michael Connelly fan, then you know Homicide detective Harry Bosch and Defense attorney Mickey Haller each have their own series. Recently, the two discovered their lives were intertwined; both were married to the same woman and both have a daughter by her. Professionally, Bosch is the one who arrests the suspects, and Haller sets them free. The two have teamed up in past novels The Brass Verdict and The Reversal.

Bosch has experienced some changes since the last in series, The Burning Room. He's retired - well, sort of; he was forced to retire. Haller is handling his lawsuit against the city and the LAPD. These two might be connected in their personal and professional lives, but Bosch still doesn't agree with Haller's cliental (criminals). Haller needs Bosch to investigate a current case. Haller presents the usual: a client who was "setup." Bosch looks into the case but refuses to commit, until he reads the Case Murder Book and interviews those involved. That's when Bosch realizes he's getting closer to "the crossing" -- the place where the victim tripped the preverbal wire that resulted in her death, and now he wants find out who did it.

The Crossing does not disappoint. With a guilty criminal, damning evidence and the author's bestselling duo trying to prove otherwise, Connelly successfully gives fans a complex storyline. Actor Titus Welliver narrates the audio version. It's a persuasive narration that keeps listeners engaged. If Welliver's deep, well-spoken voice sounds familiar, that's because he plays Detective Bosch in the Amazon.com series.
