LAPD Detective Harry Bosch as we've never seen him before, in three never-before-collected stories.
In "Suicide Run," the apparent suicide of a beautiful young starlet turns out to be much more sinister than it seems. In "Cielo Azul," Bosch is haunted by a long-ago closed case -- the murder of a teenage girl who was never identified. As her killer sits on death row, Bosch tries one last time to get the answers he has sought for years. In "One Dollar Jackpot," Bosch works the murder of a professional poker player whose skills have made her more than one enemy.
Whether investigating a cold case or fresh blood, Bosch relentlessly pursues his quarry, always on the lookout for the "tell." In this first collection of Harry Bosch stories, Michael Connelly once again demonstrates that he is the master of "fast-paced, brilliantly plotted crime fiction.... Harry Bosch is back on the case, and not a moment too soon" (Chicago Sun Times).

"Here are three fun shorts involving Harry Bosch, which have been published elsewhere but collected in time to warm the reader up for the next installment of Connelly's Bosch series. Good, quick reading, almost like a telepic. When are we going to see Harry on screen, Mr. Connelly? "

“Fast-paced, brilliantly plotted crime fiction…Harry Bosch is back on the case, and not a moment too soon.”
— Chicago Sun-Times“Narrator Len Cariou provides a masterful portrayal of Bosch. His logical and sometimes-gruff tone catches the essence of the wily detective. But in an instant, he can convince you he’s a female character as well. In this compilation, Connelly and Cariou are in sync. The only negative is there’s just not enough Harry Bosch to satisfy the soul.”
— AudioFile" Standard stuff. Hope you weren't expecting a real book - at least half of the content is four chapters of another novel. "
— Ray, 11/3/2011" Very short stories. I'd call this kind of a warm-up for The Drop, which comes out in a few weeks. "
— Casey, 10/12/2011" Clearly written before he had mastered his craft. Good, not great. "
— Virginia, 10/11/2011" Suicide Run is a short compilation of 3 Harry Bosch short stories. I liked the stories but found myself looking for more after the second and thrid stories. They almost seemed to be excerpts from a longer novel. "
— Maria, 10/3/2011" Three very short stories that are very quick reads and made me miss Harry. These were previously published, but I had not read them. Harry was very true to form. I am really looking forward to the new full length book coming in November! "
— Gary, 10/1/2011" Maybe short stories are not my thing. I love Michael Connelly but I wasn't as impressed with these very short stories.<br/> "
