PS these dragons don't belch fire Lacelle The murder of a Chinese owner of a small convenience store leads Harry Bosch down corridors he never would have dreamed of in his worse nightmares. While chasing down leads, he receives a startling video of his daughter, Maddie. Apparently she has been abducted in Hong Kong, where she has been living with her mother, former FBI agent, Eleanor Wish, Harry's ex-wife.Harry, believing that his current murder investigation, and Maddie's abduction are tied together, he hops on a plane to Hong Kong, where he is met by Eleanor, and what he assumes is her bodyguard. They find the apartment where Maddie had been held, but she . Excellent book. Excellent story again from Michael Connelly. Some reviewers did not like that this book took Harry Bosch to Hong Kong but I thought that was an excellent locale to round out this book. You saw a different side of Harry, but not too different, now that his is now on his natural beat of LA. He goes to Hong Kong to rescue his daughter who is kidnapped. The daughter, Maddie lives with her mother in Hong Kong and that in itself is it's own story line of Harry and his ex-wife who he still loves. Mr. Connelly certainly can paint an excellent picture in his books explaining the details of any foreign city. You feel as if you. Another winner Maisie Still one of my favorite characters. While many didn't seem to enjoy his sojourn to Hong Kong I found those 39 hours quite exciting and quite palpable, although he will always still belong in LA! While I wish Eleanor hadn't been portrayed as such an angry bitter woman--Harry does have a way of bringing that out in women; I really felt she should have been a much stronger person in crisis than was written--MAMA BEARS ARE FIERCE over their baby cubs and Michael Connelly clearly forgot that. Nice contrived twist at the end proving like father like daughter. Setting up for some amazing roller coaster rides between the tw
He uncovers a link to a Hong Kong triad, a lethal and far-reaching crime ring that follows many immigrants to their new lives in the U.S. The one good thing in Bosch's life, the person he holds most dear, is taken from him and Bosch travels to Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he's lost. The murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find the killer. And instantly his world explodes. In a place known as Nine Dragons, as the city's Hungry Ghosts festival burns around him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad's ferocity.. Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L.A. neighborhood, a store Bosch has known for years. LAPD Detective Harry Bosch is off the chain in the fastest, fiercest, and highest-stakes case of his life. He brings in a detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation--not just of languages but also of the cultural norms and expectations that guided Li's life. The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory
Fans of Michael Connelly can expect another exceptional thrill ride, while newcomers will be immediately engaged by the tortured and unrelenting Bosch. "That day was now." --Dave Callanan. "He knew one day it would come to this, that the darkness would find his daughter and that she would be used to get him," writes Connelly. Best of the Month, October 2009: An investigation into a cold-blooded murder introduces Detective Harry Bosch to a Chinese underworld lurking in the dark recesses of the City of Angels. However, working a case with leads on both sides of the Pacific provides little room (or time) for error. Its tentacles are far r
