Switchblade

An Original Short Story

By: Michael Connelly

Narrated by: Len Cariou

In this original short story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch seeks justice for the forgotten

In "Switchblade," an anonymous tip puts Bosch on a case that has remained unsolved for decades, the vicious stabbing of a teenage boy whose body was found in an abandoned Old Hollywood restaurant.

Cold cases are often the toughest: With no body, no murder scene, and no fingerprints, Bosch nevertheless gets lucky when DNA evidence from the murder weapon points to a known killer. But the DA insists that science alone is not enough - he needs the case to be bulletproof before he'll take it to court.

Determined to speak for those who can no longer speak for themselves, Bosch has one chance to wrench a confession out of a cold-blooded killer, or risk letting him walk free for good.

In this gripping, never-before-published story by "master of the crime thriller" (Huffington Post) Michael Connelly, Detective Harry Bosch quenches his thirst for justice and shows why he is "one of the most popular and enduring figures in American crime fiction" (Chicago Tribune).

Gotta love Bosch

Great Bosch story, as usual. Too short but great for a little taste of Harry until the next full length novel comes out Len Cariou great as always.

not bad

Not bad. Seems like more information could be put in for a longer novel. The longer the better.

Wish it were full novel, but a great short story

What did you love best about Switchblade?

, didn't want it to end wanted it to be a full novel.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

A great plot, again wish it was a full novel.

Old Bosch Stories are the best.

Great little story to listen to over dinner. The narrator is great and is a perfect match to the character he is reading about.

It's a short story!

I've read or listened to all things Bosch, so I didn't want to miss this snippet. It's straightforward and probably based on a true event when Connolly was a reporter.

Len Cariou is the narrator, as he is for most of the series. Connolly is one of my favorite authors, so I have to say this narrator reads this series more like a documentary. He does a horrible job with women, something many guys with deep voices seem to have little problems doing.

Nevertheless it's always good to hear from Harry Bosch.
