Connelly, Michael

A serial killer is at large. His targets:homicide cops, each haunted bya case he couldn't crack. His calling card:a quotation from the works of Edgar Allen Poe.

A breathtaking thriller that thrusts you into a blistering courtroom battle and a desperate search for a sadistic killer.

After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.

Detective Harry Bosch responds to a call when a dog digs up a human bone, and soon finds himself investigating a murder case that is more than twenty years old, stirring up distant memories from his childhood.

Suspended indefinitely pending a psychiatric evaluation, Harry Bosch is spending his time investigating an unsolved crime from 1961: the brutal slaying of a prostitute who happened to be his own mother.

Mickey Haller has spent all his professional life afraid that he wouldn't recognize innocence if it stood right in front of him. But what he should have been on the watch for is evil.

Retired Los Angeles detective Harry Bosch agrees to look into the death of former colleague and friend Terry McCaleb and finds himself immersed once again in the pursuit of a serial killer, presumed dead by the FBI, who calls himself the Poet.
