Publisher's summary

Suspended from his job with the LAPD, Harry Bosch must face the darkest parts of his past to track down his mother's killer...even if it costs him his life.

Harry Bosch's life is on the edge. His earthquake-damaged home has been condemned. His girlfriend has left him. He's drinking too much. And after attacking his commanding officer, he's even had to turn in his L.A.P.D. detective's badge. Now, suspended indefinitely pending a psychiatric evaluation, he's spending his time investigating an unsolved crime from 1961: the brutal slaying of a prostitute who happened to be his own mother.

Even after three decades, Harry's questions generate heat among L.A.'s top politicos. And as the truth begins to emerge, it becomes more and more apparent that someone wants to keep it buried. Someone very powerful...very cunning...and very deadly.

Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has created a dark, fast-paced suspense thriller that cuts to the core of Harry Bosch's character. Once you start it, there's no turning back.

Impressed? Ace detective Harry Bosch is also on the case in other exciting Michael Connelly crime-fiction novels.

Critic reviews

"Grabs you and shakes you-and it feels great." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Connelly is at the top of his form in this brilliant mystery. Dick Hill does an outstanding job capturing Bosch's cynicism and anger, confusion and hurt. Hill changes his voice well to portray the other characters, most notably the female police psychiatrist...this is a first-rate production." (AudioFile)

"A powerful book." (Houston Chronicle)

The best in the series so far

If you enjoyed the earlier books in the series you will enjoy this one. I almost stopped listening after 3 as I found it a disappointment but Then Last Coyote’ is a return to form, maybe the best so far!

Suspended Story

This book is not my favorite Bosch book, but it does provide more information of the character. For when the book was written it addresses issues that are really only coming to light today. For that alone it is worth a read.

The plot was reasonably predictable, but a few twists spiced it up at the end.

If you are a fan of Harry Bosch this book is worth it to round the character out. If this is your first Bosch book, its probably better to start with a different book.

Good story.

Mispronunciations were the only drawback. Only a few though, didn't stall the story at all; was just my personal hang-up.

Good story, a little over the top.

The plot was a little over the top, but it was still a really enjoyable "read." The love interest was kind of pointless, but maybe she will be a character in a future book. The Bosch series it's worth listening to, but don't let the TV series impair your imagination. You can listen to this book by itself, but you'll get more out of it if you listen to the series in order.

great read!

Hard to put down as all of Bosch Mysteries I've read so far but this one gave more depth of understanding of Harry Bosch and the true effect the violence that police have to deal with daily has on them personally, esp. the good ones.

My favorite of the Harry Bosch novels.

What did you love best about The Last Coyote?

I believe I have read all of the Harry Bosch novels to the point where Harry Bosch feels like an old friend. Me and Harry Bosch are together nightly while I do my exercises and during long drives. This is my favorite one because it allowed me to know Harry in a deeper psychological way. The plot is excellent as well. I love the comparison to "the last coyote" with Harry being one of the last of his breed of detective. It tied up lose ends and was a very satisfying read--and the one of the series I remember the most.
