Product Description:
At the end of CITY OF BONES Harry Bosch quit the LAPD, but he's back in a new role, one that will give him more freedom to pursue the cases that compel him.When he left the LAPD Bosch took a file with him: the case of a film production assistant murdered four years earlier during a $2 million robbery on a movie set. The LAPD, now operating under post 9/11 rules, think the stolen money was used to finance a terrorist training camp. Thoughts of the original murder victim were lost in the federal zeal, and when Bosch decides to re-investigate, he quickly falls fouls of both his old colleagues and the FBI. But it's not just the case which is keeping Bosch awake at night. When the investigation enables him to meet up with an old friend, shadows from his past come back to haunt him...

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A dark and often disturbing mystery very well told
I had read The Black Echo, the first in this series, years ago and had somewhat mixed feelings about it. I liked Harry Bosch, (the detective who this series of gritty mystery novels follows) and I really liked the authenticity of the story, but the book felt overlong and the pacing left a bit to be desired. Out of pure luck I happened to stumble across a couple of the more recent books in this series (as of this typing we're approaching the release of the 14th installment in the series, The Brass ...

Rating:  - Policing Cold Cases without a Badge
You can quit the force, but can you get it out of your blood? Clearly not based on this excellent novel about a retired Harry Bosch seeking justice for a murdered woman. But can you at least get away from the police politics? Maybe so. Maybe not.
Why can't Harry leave a cold case alone? The dead woman's hands were "directed upward from her head, as if she were reaching out to someone, almost beseechingly, begging for something. They looked like the hands from a Renaissance painting, ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic read from Connelly
As I work my way back through some of Connelly's previous works, I recently had an opportunity to read Lost Light, one of the Harry Bosch stories. With Bosch, Connelly has a great character around whom to build a great story. In Lost Light, Bosch, a recently-retired police detective from Los Angeles, is drawn back to an unsolved murder case from his active duty days. Connelly presents a compelling story, demonstrating the sharp wit and keen analytical insight of the Bosch character , while simultaneously ... Read More
Rating: - Lost Light
I received my book within the alloted time given to me and it was and is in excellent condition. I am very satisfied.
Rating: - One of the Best Harry Bosch Books I've Read
Connelly found his man in Harry Bosch, and Lost Light is one of the best. At age 52, Bosch has "pulled the pin" and turned in his badge. Less than a year into retirement, he gets pulled into a four year old murder mystery. He is compelled to follow it through to the end despite the fact that he goes up against the FBI and LAPD in turf wars. As only a Private Detective now, Bosch doesn't have the legitimate authority he once had, but he has all of instincts, boldness and grit. There are several surprises in ... Read More
