"When a liquor store owner is gunned down inside his own store, L.A. Police homicide detective Harry Bosch is assigned the case. What seems like a cut and dry triad payoff gone wrong turns into a nightmare when Harry's daughter Madeline is kidnapped. Now Harry must fly to Hong Kong to save his daughter and return in time to solve the murder.
Michael Connelly delivers another thrilling episode in the life of Harry Bosch. This book is a perfect hard boiled detective novel. The Harry Bosch series does not waver from it's course. I like that he has not tried to change the course this series is taking.
I also like that the case is investigated by a detective and not a forensics gatherer. It takes a person with deductive reasoning to investigate a murder. You can not always rely on some crazy piece of evidence to solve the crime for you. Harry Bosch goes through the steps, he uses evidence gathered as a tool, but only a tool.
The ending of the book is quite good. A lot of novels have plot twists and surprise endings, but the ending on this one throws everything you have been thinking upside down. I was pleasantly surprised.
For those fans of Michael Connelly, there is an appearance of Mickey Haller and mention of Jack McEvoy. Connelly is currently serving as Guest of Honor at this year's Bouchercon."
"This is a Harry Bosch series set in California (LA), but most of the acion takes place in Hong Kong. In this installment, Harry's daughter, Maddie, is missing, and Harry must go to Hong Kong to find her. Also, Harry's current case involves the Chinese triad. The action is fast paced, with many peaks and valleys-much like the 8 mountain peaks that surround Hong Kong. The brief history of the triad is interesting. Wonder what is in store for Harry next?"
"Harry Bosch is back with the murder of a Chinese owner of a liquor store in South Central Los Angeles, near the site of some of the worse rioting scenes of 1992.
Suddenly Harry and his reluctant partner are caught up with the domestic version of the Triads which quickly morphs into personal problems for Harry as his daughter is kidnapped in Hong Kong where she lives with her mother.
This would make an exciting action/adventure movie with these two great locales and the fast paced plot, although nothing actually explodes, and there are no high speed car chases. This is detective work that results from following each step as it appears. The dialogue and character development are excellent, befitting the mature author of over 20 novels and non-fiction books."
"I have read every single Connelly book and although I love all of his characters, the Harry Bosch books are the best. Each one is amazingly a continuation of his life story this one being no different- in this book, his daughter in hong kong is dragged into an investigation of a LA murder and he of course is relentless in solving the case but also getting his daughter to safety. A couple of old characheters show up in different spots in the book and you feel like you have another glimpse into harry's interesting life- I cant wiat to see what he does next.
the only thing that is missing in this one is his usual sarcastic and funny tone with people- he is very serious in this one- still very good!"
