The Closers

Description

After three years as a PI, Harry Bosch returns to the LAPD. The superb page-turning eleventh Bosch novel from the award-winning No. 1 bestselling author. Harry is back, assigned to the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit with his former cop ally and partner, Kizmin Rider. These detectives are the Closers. They are thrown into a politically sensitive and dangerous case when a white supremacist is connected to the 1988 murder of a mixed race girl. The police department has changed, but one thing hasn't - Harry's nemesis, Irving. The former Deputy Chief has been pushed from power and given a virtually meaningless new role. Full of vengeance, Irving calls Harry a 'retread'. He watches from the sidelines like an injured bear, hoping Harry will make a mistake . . .

A return to form * Maxim Jakubowski * Michael Connelly is always reliable and The Closers is as dark and thrilling as ever * Carla McKay * The Closers is more than just a terrific mystery that slowly builds into a breathless race against time, twisting and turning to the very last page. It is a fascinating portrait of a city ... It also highlights, with great sensitivity. 'the toll of violence over time'. However, as usual, hardbitten Harry [Bosch] is the main attraction. He's exactly the kind of cop you'd want to investigate your own murder * Mark Sanderson * A cracking return to form by Connelly, and we can only hope Harry Bosch doesn't apply for retirement again * IRISH INDEPENDENT * There's a mountain of American detective fiction. At the summit are Connelly's Harry Bosch books * SUNDAY SPORT * A scrupulously plotted procedural ... and all the excitements of a terrific thriller well paced by a cool and fast running narrative * Philip Oakes *
