City Of Bones by Michael Connelly
When the bones of a twelve-year-old boy are found scattered in the Hollywood Hills, Harry Bosch is drawn into a case that brings up the darkest memories from his own haunted past. The bones have been buried for years, but the cold case doesn't deter Bosch. Unearthing hidden stories, he finds out the child's identity and reconstructs his fractured life, determined that he not be forgotten. At the same time, a new love affair with a female cop begins to blossom for Bosch - until a stunningly blown mission leaves him in more trouble than ever before in his turbulent career. The investigation races to a shocking conclusion and leaves Bosch on the brink of an unimaginable decision.
Give a dog a bone and a whole can of worms opens upThis is the start of the 7th great Detective Harry Bosch novel, set in LA but far from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. When a dog returns to its master with a humerus in its mouth it opens up a horrific case of child abuse from twenty years previously. For the next two weeks Bosch and his partner try to bring closure and after identifying the skeleton the answer seems simple. Too simple... Digging back into the neighbourhood's past unearths secrets that could and do destroy lives and careers, bringing back memories for Bosch that he would rather forget. Award-winning crime writer Michael Connelly carries the plot back and forth, intertwining it with Bosch's bolshiness in the face of authority. Love interest arises only to confound both the case and Bosch with the complexity of its relationship. A page-turning, fast-moving pacy crime story - forget about doing anything else till the last page is turned and Bosch reaches a crossroads in his life. - Lucy Watson
