I enjoyed this novel because 1. It is written by Michael Connelly; 2. It is written about Harry Bosch; 3. It is partly set in Hong Kong where I used to live in 2000/2001.
Harry is investigating a Chinese shopkeeper's killing in Los Angeles with his Chinese detective sidekick. It soon becomes clear that the victim has been paying protection money to the Triads. Harry keeps pushing the envelope and the Triads get nasty. They kidnap his daughter Maddie who is living with his ex-wife Eleanor Wish in Hong Kong.
Harry rushes to Hong Kong and with the assistance of some friends there and clues from the kidnap video he is able to track down the whereabouts of his daughter. Harry very heavy handily goes after rescuing his daughter.
His impetuousness leads to a family tragedy and much changed personal circumstances for Harry. He does not seem to be in control of events in parts of this story.
Another great book from Michael Connelly and I cannot wait for the next Harry Bosch instalment called the Drop that is released for me on 25 October 2011, I will be on line to Kindle to get my copy! It will be the top priority read for me.
This novel, well a 9/10 for me.
