| Harry Bosch has been given three years before he must retire from the LAPD, and he wants cases more fiercely than ever. In one morning, he gets two. DNA from a 1989 rape and murder matches a 29-year-old convicted rapist. Was he an eight-year-old killer or has something gone terribly wrong in the new Regional Crime Lab? The latter possibility could compromise all of the lab's DNA cases currently in court. Then Bosch and his partner are called to a death scene fraught with internal politics. Councilman Irvin Irving's son jumped or was pushed from a window at the Chateau Marmont. Irving, Bosch's longtime nemesis, has demanded that Harry handle the investigation. Relentlessly pursuing both cases, Bosch makes two chilling discoveries: a killer operating unknown in the city for as many as three decades, and a political conspiracy that goes back into the dark history of the police department. | |

| Reviews | |
| "Another of Connelly's brilliant Los Angeles crime novels." "Connelly knows his way around a police investigation, and he knows his way around a courtroom. This knowledge makes his stories believable while his writing skills make them come alive....An exciting writer and one we love to read." "Connelly's prose is so smooth that it looks easy....The product of a master fully in command of his craft." "Mr. Connelly, a former journalist, is a master of mixing realistic details of police work and courtroom procedure with the private feelings and personal lives of his protagonists, and of building suspense even as he evokes the somber poetry inherent in battling the dark side." "Thank God for Michael Connelly....Connelly retains his journalistic gifts; his eye for detail is spot on....Taken together, his 22 novels form an indispensible, compelling chronicle of L.A." PRAISE FORTHE REVERSAL: "Each of his books is so much more than the sum of its parts....Connelly writes true-to-life fiction about true crime. What makes his crme stories ring true is that they're never really over." | |

I first fell in love with Michael Connelly's stories after reading the Black Echo. Since then, I have bought & read all of his books while I was deployed with the United States Navy. It helped me get through the hard times & let me escape to story land. I just got done reading "The Drop". It is an excellent read. I recommend it to all crime/detective lovers. I also recommend Lee Child. He is my second favorite author.
For Michael Connelly fans this is a "must read". Harry Bosch is back solving cold cases and the two that he works on at the same time make for good plots. He has a new partner but his old partner (Kiz Rider) plays an important role as she is now in the office of the chief of police and therefore her role is more political than Harry would like.
I READ THIS BOOK IN 4 NIGHTS AND THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE MICHAEL CONNELLY BOOK. CONNELLY JUST KEEPS ATTAINING NEW HEIGHTS INSTEAD OF DREDGING UP THE SAME OLD STUFF. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
My wife likes this author and really enjoyed this book..Also she has his other books.All of which she says she enjoyed reading. Being she is a avid reader for over 60 years I suspect her opinion should be of value to you.
One author who has maintained his credibility as an author. Good characters, fast paced plot, no dragging or repetitive areas. I hope he doesn't change,as so many authors have.
