Echo Park by Michael Connelly

Harry Bosch has "unretired" and is now working in the Open-Unsolved Unit. He keeps a file on his desk from a case that has haunted him, the murder of Marie Gesto thirteen years earlier. An overlooked clue in the case by Harry and his partner causes Harry to question his whole exsistence as a police officer. A serial killer has been apprehended and sentenced to die, but has agreed to lead investigators to her body in exchange for a life sentence instead of the needle. A bungled "field trip" leads to an escape, and before the conclusion of the story, careers are over. FBI agent,Rachel Walling, a character in a prior novel makes a return visit as both a love interest and a helper in Harry's quest to resolve the Gesto murder case.

Michael Connelly has become more prolific of late, but that has not hurt he quality of his writing. Lucky for me because Michael Connelly is one of my must read authors. I am never let down by his books.

ECHO PARK is vintage Harry Bosch...compelling, suspenseful, page-turning. Leave enough time in the day to really sink your teeth into the book. You won't want to put it down.
