Publisher Description

In 1995, Marie Gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket in Hollywood. Harry Bosch worked the case but couldn't crack it, and the 22-year-old woman never turned up, dead or alive. Now Bosch is in the Open-Unsolved Unit, where he still keeps the Gesto file on his desk, when he gets a call from the DA. A man accused of two heinous killings is willing to come clean about several other murders, including the killing of Marie Gesto. Bosch must now take Raynard Waits's confession and get close to the man he has sought - and hated - for eleven years. But when Bosch learns that he and his partner missed a clue back in 1995 that could have led them to Gesto's killer - and that would have stopped nine murders that followed - he begins to crack.

Michael Connelly's suspenseful new novel pits the detective People magazine calls "one of the most complex crime fighters around" against one of the most sadistic killers he has ever confronted. It confirms that Michael Connelly "is the best writer of suspense fiction working today" (Richmond Times-Dispatch).

"I was glad to see that the real Harry Bosch was back in this book. I enjoy reading about the loner and his quest for right. He appears more selfish and into himself in Echo Park. It was faster paced with more emotion and had several twists. It prompts me to read the next in the series."

— Sabena (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Echo Park is another prime demonstration of Mr. Connelly’s handiwork: he has woven entirely unsurprising elements into a surprisingly suspense-filled story. Just read his rivals in the crime genre to realize how difficult this is and how easy he makes it look.”

    — New York Times

  • “What puts Connelly in the top rank of modern procedural writers—and, perhaps, into the ranks of the better modern LA writers of any genre—is his willingness to accept that there aren’t always easy answers in Bosch’s life or, sometimes, any answers at all. That sense of uncertainty and dread, combined with Bosch’s going from middle age to the precipice of old age, informs every page of this novel.”

    — Washington Post

  • “Echo Park is a richly imagined and finely crafted piece that grabs the reader on page one and locks him but a half-step behind Bosch on every page that follows.’”

    — Denver Post

  • “A mystery masterpiece that will be read with pleasure and appreciation for decades to come.”

    — Forbes

  • “A very well done hard-boiled police procedural.”

    — Barnes & Noble, editorial review

  • “Michael Connelly crafts a deeply disturbing look into the dark souls of serial killers…Connelly’s writing offers no-nonsense plots, tightly compressed descriptions, and crisp dialogue, and Cariou keeps it all low-key, understated, and effective.”

    — AudioFile

  • “Connelly remains a master at constructing plots that, like contrapuntal themes in music, echo one another…Superior crime fiction, as suspenseful as it is psychologically acute.”

    — Booklist

  • “Connelly offers strong action writing and exciting plot twists, coupled with more development of Bosch’s character and his internal conflicts. Another excellent and riveting entry in the longstanding series by one of mystery fiction’s best writers.”

    — Library Journal

  • “Connelly continues to deliver and then some with the twelfth book in his Harry Bosch series…Some excellent twists in the plot—not the hairpin gaspers of a Deaver but the slow, excruciating, can’t-stop-this of a car wreck in slow-mo—will keep you riveted.”

    — RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

    " This was my first time borrowing an e-book from my local library -- crime stories are readily available, and I was looking for an escape. Bosch is a great character and this story held my interest right up to the end, but I won't remember much of it tomorrow. "

    " Typical "hard-boiled cop" mystery. Would have given it a 3.5 if an option. Other reviewers said another book in this series - "The Poet" - is better, so will head back to the landlord's bookshelf to see if it's there among the multiple Connelly books - apparently he's a fan. "
