Seems this Tony had his share of enemies, and in no time, so does Harry: Vegas thugs, LAPD’s organized crime unit, a smarmy internal affairs investigator and, of course, Tony’s killers. Everyone wants a piece of Harry. And somehow, they’ve found just the way to get it. . . Turns out that just before his death, Tony was seen at a Vegas poker table with one Eleanor Wish?ex-FBI agent, ex-convict . . . and ex-love of Harry’s life.

 Rating:  - Another great Bosch novelAfter being on suspension and tracking down his mother's killer, Harry Bosch returns to homicide and is partnered with former partner Jerry Edgar and new partner Kiz Rider. Their first case is a big one. Anthony Aliso's is found in the trunk of his Rolls Royce. All indications are that the murder was a mob hit. When Bosch tells Aliso's wife, Veronica, of the death, she isn't very sad. Anthony had been spending a lot of time in Vegas lately gambling and carousing with a younger woman. The trail takes ... Read More Rating: - Harry Misreads the CluesMichael Connelly does something unusual in Trunk Music: He makes Harry Bosch fallible in his work as well as in his private life. The result is that Harry has setbacks that go beyond his usual run-ins with LAPD authority. The result is entertaining and convoluted, providing novelty to this excellent series. This isn't my favorite in the series by a long shot. The noir aspects just aren't as dark as in Connelly's best efforts. Gallows humor saves the book, beginning with finding ... Read More Rating: - A Vegas TwistHarry Bosch is on the prowl again. It's his first case back from a suspension and it leads Harry to the seamy side of Vegas. He encounters an old flame and is caught up in a case that has enough twists and turns to keep your head spinning. Mr. Connelly's writing is crisp and his characters are well drawn. It doesn't get any better than this. Rating: - Harry's back!After being out of work for over a year, Harry is finally back in the saddle, so to speak. There is a new lieutenant in charge of Hollywood's homicide team who has changed things around and Harry finds himself the leader of a three-person team - himself, his old partner Jerry Edgar, and a relatively new rising star Kizmin Rider. When they are called out on a case, it is soon apparent that the deceased was assassinated - and it looks like a mob hit - Trunk Music. There is a special group that handles Organized ... Read More Rating: - The Usual Good Stuff of a Bosch NovelConnelly gives readers the total package in Trunk Music. Bosch plays the tough-guy investigator back on the job after a suspension. He grabs his first homicide case by the horns and goes against the FBI, the IAD and the mob as he follows the trail to Las Vegas from LA. He finds an old flame along the way that adds a complex element to the mix. This is a solid mystery novel and provides a satisfactory amount of suspense and punch in the end.
