Synopsis
Harry Bosch's latest case sees him alone, without backup - and this time it's personal.
The shooting of a Chinese liquor store owner in LA brings Harry Bosch back to the Rodney King riots and the moment a stranger gave a young cop sanctuary. Now the debt must be repaid, and Harry soon discovers the old man's death was no ordinary hold-up.
Homing in on clues disregarded by the cops on the scene, Harry builds a picture of corruption and intimidation, with the local Triads at the heart of it. But as he tries to build a case and breach the impenetrable wall of silence in the local community, he finds he is taking a dragon by the tail - a dragon whose talons reach well beyond LA, and even the States.
Suddenly the most precious thing in Harry's life is under threat, and he will need to leave the familiarity of his home turf, alone and without backup, if he is going to stop his worst nightmare from happening.
Reviews
'Connelly is a crime writing genius'
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
'A corker...NINE DRAGONS resorts to his most famous and enduring creation, LAPD detective Harry Bosch. This time the stakes have never been more compelling, or personal...Connelly manages to make Hong Kong every bit as vivid and dangerous as his depictions of Los Angeles. What's more, with Bosch on personal overdrive, the tension and pace he builds has never been greater, or more pertinent'
DAILY MIRROR
'The plot twists twice in the final pages to create an astonishing climax to a thriller not short of heart-in-the-mouth moments...He just gets better and better'
EVENING STANDARD
'No one writes a better modern thriller than Connelly'
