The Overlook

Don't overlook this one. The Overlook, the latest entry by author Michael Connelly, brings LAPD detective Harry Bosch and ex-wife Rachel Walling back together again to solve a homicide.

The story opens with the discovery of a body on the overlook of Mulholland Drive. This leads to the discovery of a missing pig of radioactive substance. Enter a well-known high profile person of Middle Eastern heritage, an e-mail threatening the dead person, a drifter from Canada who witnessed the crime, a wife who was found bound and bruised, a gung-ho military style RAT team and you have a swiftly moving, intriguing story.

I like this author. He makes me feel as if I am inside Harry Bosch's head. I find myself rooting for Harry and wanting to look beyond the obvious and more closely scrutinize the subtleties of the crime. After all, this is what leads to the solving of the crime.
