City Of Bones by Michael Connelly

City Of Bones (Harry Bosch, #8) (Windsor Selection S.)

by Michael Connelly

When the bones of a twelve-year-old boy are found scattered in the Hollywood Hills, Harry Bosch is drawn into a case that brings up the darkest memories from his own haunted past. The bones have been buried for years, but the cold case doesn't deter Bosch. Unearthing hidden stories, he finds out the child's identity and reconstructs his fractured life, determined that he not be forgotten.

At the same time, a new love affair with a female cop begins to blossom for Bosch - until a stunningly blown mission leaves him in more trouble than ever before in his turbulent career. The investigation races to a shocking conclusion and leaves Bosch on the brink of an unimaginable decision.

This is the first of the Harry Bosch series I’ve read (there I go, jumping into the middle of a series again). It was great! Usually I’m pretty good at figuring out what direction a book is going in, but this one had 2 or 3 surprising twists that I really enjoyed. And it seems that it may have come at a turning point in the series. Now I need to find the earlier books...
