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 are lost in the federal zeal, and when it seems the killer will be set free to aid the feds' terrorist hunt, Bosch quickly falls foul of both his old colleagues and the FBI. Download Description: Special eBook feature: Includes an author article and excerpts from A Darkness More Than Night, City of Bones, and Chasing the Dime. Fed up with the hypocrisy and bureaucracy of the LAPD, Harry Bosch has resigned and is forced to find a new source of income-and a new way of life. But the life of a retiree doesn't suit him. He has devoted himself to law enforcement, and on his own, he is still drawn towards the abyss. When he rediscovers a startling, unsolved murder among the old case files he's been poring over, he knows he can't rest until he finds the killer, with or without a badge. Moving ever further inside the remarkable character of Harry Bosch, Michael Connelly takes another step closer to the classic novels of Raymond Chandler in this breakneck, relentless, and potent new novel. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A dark and often disturbing mystery very well toldI 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 ... Read More Rating:  - Policing Cold Cases without a BadgeYou 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 ConnellyAs 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 LightI 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 ReadConnelly 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
