Two Kinds of Truth (Harry Bosch, #20)

by Michael Connelly

If the truth doesn't get him - the lies will.

Harry Bosch works cold cases, helping out the under-funded San Fernando police department. When a double murder at a local pharmacy is called in, Bosch is the most seasoned detective on the scene.

But with experience, come the ghosts of long-forgotten crimes. A death row inmate claims Bosch framed him, and that new DNA evidence proves it.

The LAPD investigators say the case is watertight, leaving Bosch out in the wilderness to clear his name and keep a sadistic killer behind bars.

There's only one person he can trust to help prove his innocence: Mickey Haller, The Lincoln Lawyer...

As both cases tangle around him, Bosch learns there are two kinds of truth: the kind that won't die and the kind that kills.

It occurred to me as I was listening to Michael Connelly's latest Harry Bosch book, Two Kinds of Truth how similar Bosch is to Anthony Horowitz character Christopher Foyle of Foyle's War. In a world that seems in constant disarray it is comforting to find a protagonist that always opts for doing the "right thing".

The Harry Bosch series has over the years provided a high level of performance that other writers have not been able to keep up. There hasn't been one book that has disappointed but the have been some that where outstanding. This was an enjoyable read but not exceptional.
