Product Description

Harry Bosch is assigned a homicide call in South L.A. that takes him to Fortune Liquors, where the Chinese owner has been shot to death behind the counter in an apparent robbery.

Joined by members of the department's Asian Crime Unit, Bosch relentlessly investigates the killing and soon identifies a suspect, a Los Angeles member of a Hong Kong triad. But before Harry can close in, he gets the word that his young daughter Maddie, who lives in Hong Kong with her mother, is missing.

Bosch drops everything to journey across the Pacific to find his daughter. Could her disappearance and the case be connected? With the stakes of the investigation so high and so personal, Bosch is up against the clock in a new city, where nothing is at it seems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Connelly churns 'em out, Oct 28 2009

By	M. Sinclair (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nine Dragons (Hardcover)

Nobody is ever going to accuse Michael Connelly of sitting back and taking it easy; this is his 22nd book since he won the Edgar for best first novel in 1992 (for The Black Echo). So we're talking about well over a book per year, and in my opinion the pace has begun to tell. His more recent efforts have (with the exception of The Lincoln Lawyer) been rather formulaic: always readable but over almost before you know it.

In 9 Dragons, he throws in a couple of twists: we meet Harry Bosch's 13-year old daughter, and a large chunk of the action takes place in Hong Kong. The results are mixed.

Connelly himself has said that giving Harry a daughter was a defining moment in the series, as the lonely, driven detective was no longer answerable only to himself, no longer invulnerable to outside pressure or the opinions of others. The shattering revelation that his daughter has gone missing, the guilt he feels for putting her in danger, his desperate need to find her - for me, these really worked.

But the scenes in Hong Kong are another matter. Sure, the pacing is break-neck (and man, do the bodies ever pile up), but sending a western cop to the mysterious east, where he breaks through official indifference and/or corruption to bring down the bad guys - oh please, haven't we been here before? In this case, Harry follows an absurdly convenient daisy-chain of clues to a big old-fashioned shoot-out, and darned if he isn't on the plane back to LA in less than a day.

That said, there are a couple of nice switcheroos at the end, to remind us of just what an old pro Connelly is. Harry's about 60 in this book; assuming Connelly sticks with aging his main character in real time, there aren't many more Bosch novels to come. Here's hoping he makes the most of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bosch is back!, Oct 18 2009

By	Luanne Ollivier - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nine Dragons (Hardcover)

I really, really, really (spellcheck keeps telling me to fix that but it's true) - enjoy Michael Connelly's writing. I've read everything he's written and enjoy the books featuring some of his other characters, but Detective Harry Bosch is my hands down favourite. Bosch is back in Nine Dragons.

Harry is called to investigate a shooting at a liquor store in a rough L.A. neighbourhood. The case seems to have gang overtones, so a detective from the Asian Gang Unit is brought in to help. The case is bigger than just south L.A. though with tendrils reaching to the triads in Hong Kong. Hong Kong.....where his daughter lives.

Harry has always operated at the far end of the law, doing what he sees as right and pursuing justice on his terms. His single minded pursuit of justice has, for the most part, worked well for him in the past. But things change with this case. It's gotten personal for one thing. And that may be clouding his judgement. His current partner is no help, he doesn't know if he can trust the gang detective, he doesn't understand the language or customs and he's going way too fast. Mistakes could be very costly.

Harry has always been a flawed character, but in this latest book, we get to see a different side of Harry. One that isn't always sure of himself and a bit more of his personal life. There is a shift in his focus and priorities. It's great that Connelly continues to grow and change Harry, that he isn't a stagnant character, repeatedly doing the same thing.

Break neck action, an intricate plot and some great twists in the ending all add up to an unputdownable read. Really, really, really.
