With the stakes of the investigation so high and so personal, Bosch is up against the clock in a new city, where nothing is at it seems. (goodreads.com)


This is the 14Th Novel surrounding detective harry Bosch. The character is flawed and its been a journey for this character.

I have read previously The Lincoln Lawyer and The Closers before being able to review.

This book hit close to home for me, and having kids and what a parent does to rescue their child or children. I also understood a little more about Hong Kong because my dad has made many trips to the city.

I love a good mystery and Michael Connelly doesn't disappoint. I felt transported to Hong Kong by the detail , emotions felt by the characters. I could picture this as a movie and hope that this character comes to the big screen.

There are 3 parts to the book. I loved the titles because they gave a clue of what was going to happen in the story. I was trying to figure out who did it and to me that's a good mystery.
