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.

Surprise Ending

I really think that the way the book was read was as good as the book itself. The Twists and turns this novel makes kept me interested from beginning to the final surprise at the end

I never knew where the story was leading. The correct bad guys died. Harry seems to have a happy ending.

Great book and series.

I really like getting the whole story. Tv series leaves a lot on the cutting room floor.

Connelly hits another homer

As usual, a very creative plot with plenty of twists and turns. Until the Bosch series, I've never read (listened) to Michael Connelly. I'm hooked on the complexity of the Bosch character. The archetypal anti-hero. Who doesn't love that. The reader is very talented, and you are able to "see" the different characters by the skilled ability to conjure up each character on demand.
Ready for Angels Flight.
