pdf Æ Trunk Music À Michael Connelly
E head at close range what looks like trunk music a Mafia hit But the LAPD's organized crime unit is curiously uninterested and when Harry follows a trail of gambling debts to Las Vegas the case suddenly becomes complex and much personal A rekindled romance with Number 5 in the Harry Bosch series and still rolling nicely along I probably found this to be the least exciting of the books to date It was a little bit too full of procedural detail and there were so many different cons going on at once I was occasionally confused Nevertheless Bosch used all his smarts and came out on topas usual I liked his two off siders and his boss who was able to bend the rules occasionally for him I found the story line of Eleanor Wish and the marriage to be unnecessary and even a little strange Still a very readable book and one which I raced through
Michael Connelly À Trunk Music pdf
Trunk MusicBack on the job after an involuntary leave of absence LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge But his first case is a little than he bargained for It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls Royce shot twice in th Trunk Music is Michael Connelly's sixth novel and the fifth of those books to feature LA homicide detective Harry Bosch It remains my favorite of Connelly's books and my favorite of all police procedurals an inspiration to me and I assume to a good many other authors who write crime fictionHarry has been serving time on an administrative leave which resulted from actions he took in The Last Coyote He's just returned to the Homicide Desk when he's called to the scene of an apparent murder Tony Aliso a Hollywood producer who turns out low rent titillating straight to DVD movies has been found shot to death and stuffed into the trunk of his Rolls Royce which has been left in a wooded area in the Hollywood Hills While Harry was on leave the homicide teams were reorganized Each team now consists of three detectives rather than two and so in addition to his long time partner Jerry Edgar Bosch is now also teamed with a female African American named Kizmin Rider As the senior detective Harry is the team leader and must direct the effort to find Aliso's killerThis is Harry's first crack at a homicide in a while and he desperately wants the case However the style of the killing clearly suggests that this might have been a mob hit and so Harry has no choice other than to call the department's Organized Crime Investigative Division and inform them of the crime He fully expects that the OCID will examine the case and almost certainly move in and take it away from him but they insist that they have no interest in the case at all Harry is relieved but the fact that OCID doesn't even want to look at it sets off the first alarm bell suggesting to Bosch that there may be to this case than a simple murderAnd of course there is Before long the trail will take Harry and his team back and forth between LA and Las Vegas where the victim was a freuent visitor And before long Harry will be butting heads with his perennial nemeses the FBI and the department's Internal Affairs Division as well as the Vegas PD and ultimately the OCID which decides that maybe it is interested in the case after allHappily though he won't be in conflict with his immediate supervisor Harvey Pounds the lieutenant who was such a thorn in Bosch's side in the earlier books has been replaced by Lieutenant Grace Billets who is much supportive of Harry and his team This is a very good thing because Harry is going to need all the help he can get It's a byzantine case with all kinds of angles and competing interests playing out against each other and against Bosch This remains I think the best of all of Connelly's plots very cleverly designed and populated with one of his best casts Bosch is at his peak here and by this book is a fully formed character tough smart prickly and single minded in the pursuit of his mission This book grabs me from the first paragraph every time I read it and it never lets go
