Harry Bosch, exiled from the LAPD, is working cold cases for the San Fernando Police Department when all hands are called out to a local drugstore, where two pharmacists have been murdered in a robbery. Bosch and the tiny town's three-person detective squad sift through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big-business world of prescription drug abuse. To get to the people at the top, Bosch must risk everything and go undercover in the shadowy world of organized pill mills.
Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch's days with the LAPD comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him and seems to have new evidence to prove it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his former colleagues are not keen on protecting his reputation. But if this conviction is overturned, every case Bosch ever worked will be called into question. As usual, he must fend for himself as he tries to clear his name and keep a clever killer in prison.
The two cases wind around each other like strands of barbed wire. Along the way, Bosch discovers that there are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness.
Tense, fast-paced, and fueled by this legendary detective's unrelenting sense of mission, Two Kinds of Truth is proof positive that "Connelly writes cops better than anyone else in the business" (New York Post).

Outstanding!!

A very exciting and complex book with multiple story lines. Welliver was superb. Need more of Harry

Wonderful! Amazing achievement and I will cry if they don’t make the movie,

This was relevant, deep, moving, and produced well. I can’t wait to see movies made of some of the best books such as these. The TV show does not reproduce the jazzy aroma and penetrating reflections, and it seems to mash up the novels while not capturing the gravitas of the novels. This book was made where we clearly can visualize the actors married to the beloved characters and I hope mature thrillers can be mad once again. The Haller character is particularly amazing and I would like to see more of combining the best of the author’s characters in the same book. I would like to see a book that puts them together with equal viewpoint time.

Great book. Maybe one of the best. It has soul.

Used "said," too many times

Great plot, clearly understands law enforcement terminology. The performer enhanced the experience by giving characters different voices

Masterful Harry Bosch

The author has had a few stories with slow spots but this one zipped along with two parallel investigations that BOTH hooked me from the beginning and kept building. It even had a brother Micky Haller cameo. Great writing!

Wonderful as usual, and definitely worth the wait

Michael Connelly, does it everytime. I love the way he ties up all loose ends. All story line questions are answered, even the ones you forgot about, and I love Harry Bosch😉
