Nine Dragons (Harry Bosch)
1 journaler for this copy...
From the cover:
Harry Bosch is assigned a homicide call in South L.A. that takes him to Fortune Liquors, where the Chinese owner has been shot to death behind the counter in a robbery. Joined by members of the department's Asian Crime Unit, Bosch relentlessly investigates the killing and soon identifies a suspect, a Los Angeles member of a Hong Kong triad.
But before Harry can close in, he gets the word that his young daughter Maddie, who lives in Hong Kong with her mother, is missing.
Bosch drops everything to journey across the Pacific to find his daughter. Could her disappearance and the case be connected? With the stakes of the investigation so high and so personal, Bosch is up against the clock in a new city, where nothing is at it seems.
Yet again with the suspension of disbelief - the odds of finding someone in Hong Kong based on the reflection in a window? And Harry's nonchalance at a critical event was seemingly uncharacteristic, although I am guessing it will haunt him in future novels.
Released at Reid's Reedy Retreat in Haliburton, where we spent a wonderful week swimming, tubing relaxing, and READING! :)
Still, liked Connelly's writing and can't help liking Harry...
