Product Description

LAPD Detective Harry Bosch is off the chain in the fastest, fiercest, and highest-stakes case of his life.

Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L.A. neighborhood, a store Bosch has known for years. The murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find the killer.

The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory. 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. 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.

And instantly his world explodes. 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. 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.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Connelly churns 'em out, Oct. 28 2009
Par M. Sinclair (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(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.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Bosch is back!, Oct. 18 2009
Par Luanne Ollivier - Voir tous mes commentaires
(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.
