Publisher's summary

Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge - but a murderous Las Vegas crime ring might prove to be more than he bargained for.

It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what looks like "trunk music", a Mafia hit. But the LAPD's organized crime unit is curiously uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail of gambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex - and much more personal.

A rekindled romance with an old girlfriend opens new perspectives on the murder, and he begins to glimpse a shocking triangle of corruption and collusion. Yanked off the case, Harry himself is soon the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harry when he's searching for the truth.

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

Critic reviews

"Dick Hill is well versed in Bosch's style after two audiobooks in the series. Hill delivers the squad room banter and the interviews with suspects and witnesses with perfection....Bosch is immensely likeable, and Hill defines his character memorably." (AudioFile)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Five stars as always

Mr. Connelly does not disappoint. This was similar to one of the Amazon series episodes. Just enough difference to keep me interested. But this on had a happy ending. I look forward to the next book the series.

Mr. Hill gave another flawless performance.

Solid Connelly Adventure

What did you love best about Trunk Music: Harry Bosch Series, Book 5?

Enjoyed it not his best not his worst. Good use of catching up with an old character that I enjoyed in a previous book.

Middle of the road Bosch

There are better and worse Bosch stories. The plot is overly convoluted but the writing style usually keeps you engaged. I fully expect to forget about this in a week -- nothing memorable at all. Exceptional Narration.

Excellent Writing

Another exciting book in the Bosch series.
Each book has kept me trying to figure out ‘How’s he gonna get out of this one’? Heading for book 6 now.

Shorter but still a winner

This one was shorter than some of the other Harry Bosch books I have listened to, but still a mystery to the end of "who did it" I really like the narrator for these.
