Description

LAPD Detective Harry Bosch as we've never seen him before, in three never-before-collected stories.

In "Suicide Run," the apparent suicide of a beautiful young starlet turns out to be much more sinister than it seems. In "Cielo Azul," Bosch is haunted by a long-ago closed case -- the murder of a teenage girl who was never identified. As her killer sits on death row, Bosch tries one last time to get the answers he has sought for years. In "One Dollar Jackpot," Bosch works the murder of a professional poker player whose skills have made her more than one enemy.

Whether investigating a cold case or fresh blood, Bosch relentlessly pursues his quarry, always on the lookout for the "tell." In this first collection of Harry Bosch stories, Michael Connelly once again demonstrates that he is the master of "fast-paced, brilliantly plotted crime fiction.... Harry Bosch is back on the case, and not a moment too soon" (Chicago Sun Times).

    Rip off- shame on you for putting in a couple of weak short stories and then a few chapters of a book and that's it. Further more I'd already read the book about "Lucy" and so I know just how little content there is...I want my money back!

    Horrible. Book consisted of a couple short stories, very short stories. Maybe I should say a couple of chapters grouped together. A lot of advertising of other books. A big ripoff!

    Terse, grim, beautifully written. If you're already a fan, these are great small bites. If you're new, a perfect intro to Connelly's Bosch and the grim Los Angeles he inhabits.

    What a huge disappointment. This is nothing more than a dishonest way to charge money for the preview of another novel. The preview was longer than all three stories combined and they could have been written by a fifth grader. Shame on you Michael Connelly!!!!

    So disappointing to find myself duped into reading a mildly amusing, but mostly waste of time.

    This book was a complete ripoff, merely extracting rehashed segments from existing published novels by Connelly and presenting them as new short stories. Bad Gator.

    Although the short stories were entertaining, this was a sneaky way to preview a new book that won't be out for more than a month. I feel duped.
