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.

Very good

Once again Connelly takes you down a path, then when it's seems you have it figured out that's when you're hit with left hook.

Great whodunnit

This is my first encounter w/ Harry and Michael Connelly. I get bored quickly and this novel easily kept me interested. A little difficult to follow the logic in the unraveling of the crime, but I managed to catch up each time they lost me. Harry reminds me of Columbo -- don't judge. Anyway, narration was on point and the story had just enough layers to make it a full bodied story. I could stand a bit more action, but very enjoyable as is.

Harry does it again

What made the experience of listening to Trunk Music the most enjoyable?

Easy, the man is back, Harry Bosch is back, bigger and better.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Trunk Music?

I loved the moment when Bosch goes up against the mob. It was very Bosch.

Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I listen to all the Bosch series, this ones right up there with the best.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Bring your gun, bring your friends, tell them to bring thier guns!

Any additional comments?

Cannot wait for the next installment, Bosch just keeps getting better with age, he'll outlast them all!
