"Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels are the most impressive body of work by any writer of crime thrillers now active." - Patrick Anderson, Only the money was real. L.A.P.D. detective Harry Bosch was on a movie set, asking questions about the murder of a young production assistant, when an armored car arrived with two million dollars cash for use in a heist scene. In a life-imitates-art firestorm, a gang of masked men converged on the delivery and robbed the armored car with guns blazing. Bosch got off a shot that struck one of the robbers as their van sped away, but the money was never recovered. And the young woman's murder was in the stack of unsolved-case files Bosch carried home the night he left the L.A.P.D. Now Bosch moves full-bore back into that case, determined to find justice for the young woman. Without a badge to open doors and strike fear in the guilty, he learns afresh how brutally indifferent the world can be. But something draws him on, past humiliation and harassment. It's not just that the dead woman had no discernible link to the robbery. Nor is it his sympathy for the cops who took the case over, one of them killed on duty and the other paralyzed by a bullet in the same attack. With every conversation and every thread of evidence, Bosch senses a larger presence, an organization bigger than the movie studios and more ruthless than even the LAPD. The part of Bosch that will never back down finds as fatal an opponent as he's ever encountered - and there's no guarantee that Bosch will survive the showdown ahead. In this breakneck, intricate, and powerful new novel, Michael Connelly takes us a step further into the complex character of Harry Bosch and delivers a book that is as close to the classic investigations of Raymond Chandler as anything written today. marks Connelly's most stunning achievement yet, further proof that he is "the most talented of crime writers" The New Yorker. is a very special limited edition CD collection of Harry Bosch's favorite jazz music--the music you have read about in the Bosch novels.
