THE NEW THRILLER FROM MILLION COPY SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER MICHAEL CONNELLY

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Detective Stilwell has been "exiled" to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland.

But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found wrapped in plastic and weighed down at the bottom of the harbor. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, he starts doggedly working the case.

Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city.

Catalina

Had to drop and go back to it for some reason didn’t hit the first time. Loved the setting though, having spent childhood summers on the island.

Another gem from Michael Connelly.

I was worried at first about the fact that there was no Harry Bosch character ....but was quickly put at ease. This is a well crafted story with an interesting plot - and a chance to get to know a new young police officer in a totally fresh location. A very satisfying ecperience

Another solid novel from Connelly

Comparison with Harry Bosch is of course inevitable… The Stillwell character has A LOT of Bosch in him. Seems like a restart of the male detective character when Bosch seems to have reached the end of the road. Not a bad thing, although maybe they are a bit too similar to offer a fresh start. The story also follows Connellys Bosch police procedural style. If you like the Harry Bosch novels and still find them good reading/listening, you will most likely like this one too. Being a Bosch fan myself, I enjoyed it. They found a really good narrator in Will Damron. I absolutely loved Titus Wellivers narration of Bosch —his voice practically is Hieronymus Bosch at this point—but putting him here would’ve been a bridge too far. This procedural already walks and talks like Bosch’s long-lost cousin, and with Welliver behind the mic, I might’ve filed a missing identity report. Still, despite the resemblance, it stands solidly on its own. A worthy listen.
