Three great novels - Michael Connelly

THE LAST COYOTE

Suspended from the LAPD pending psychiatric treatment Bosch has time on his hands and opens the ancient file on his mother's death. He discovers that the flames of old passion don't die - they kindle fresh fires.

TRUNK MUSIC

Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, Bosch's first case is the homicide of a Hollywood producer found in the trunk of a Rolls Royce, bound and shot in the head. Was it the Mafia? Or the IRS? And why is the LAPD so uninterested in the case?

ANGELS FLIGHT

When the body of high-profile black lawyer Howard Elias is found on Angels Flight, a funicular in downtown LA, there's not a detective in town who wants the case as Elias specialised in lawsuits alleging police brutality and every LAPD cop is a suspect. And so Harry Bosch gets the case.
