About this eBook
Harry Bosch is alone, without backup - and this time the case is personal. From the No. 1 bestselling author of The Lincoln Lawyer. Features in Amazon Prime's BOSCH TV series.
The shooting of a Chinese liquor store owner in LA brings Harry Bosch back to the Rodney King riots and the moment a stranger gave a young cop sanctuary. Now the debt must be repaid, and Harry soon discovers the old man's death was no ordinary hold-up.
Homing in on clues disregarded by the cops on the scene, Harry builds a picture of corruption and intimidation, with the local triads at the heart of it. But as he tries to build a case and breach the impenetrable wall of silence in the local community, he finds he is taking a dragon by the tail - a dragon whose talons reach well beyond LA, and even the States.
Suddenly the most precious thing in Harry's life is under threat, and he will need to leave the familiarity of his home turf, alone and without backup, if he is going to stop his worst nightmare from happening.

it was my first book of Michael Connelly. nowadays I read various authors' books to find out more about my favorite. I liked Michael Connelly. he managed to write a nice not-so-mysterious detective novel. there is no fill-in-the-blanks pages, as we can see everywhere, in this book. all parts relate to other parts and depend to another parts as well. the 2 final part of the book, especially last 10~15 pages turned me upside down. it was fabulous and a little bit shocking. it worth to read books like this. most of the time, I like to read full mysterious books, like ones by Harlan Coben or Tess Gerritsen, but I'm satisfied with this book, despite it is more a detective story rather than mystery. author did great job in writing a detective book which is interesting enough to make you turn pages quickly.
