Let's see if I can piss off Steakbellie or FBT's wife with this.
Yes... I just finished this last night.
So poo poo on you.
Harry Bosch, the Los Angeles police detective, protagonist of a number of Connelly's earlier books, is joined by Terry McCaleb, former FBI crime-scene profiler, introduced in Blood Work (to be read on my trips...)
Harry is immersed in testifying at the murder trial of a Hollywood film director, Jack Storey.
When McCaleb, retired and living a quiet life with a new wife and two young children, is asked by a former colleague to look at the investigation materials of a recent gruesome homicide, he realizes just how much he misses his vocation.
Certain details in Harry's life fit in well with the profile Terry is developing of a ritualistic killer on this side.
The plot is intricate, and the twists and turns keep coming, but it is so well done, and the characters are so vivid, that confusion isn't a problem.
Despite its length, this involving book is a fast read with "can't put it down" appeal.
It's scrumdillyicious...
The Michael Connelly books are not "quick reads" in terms of simplisity, but they are good and flow extremely well so it makes them easy to read even with their complexity.
