Harry Bosch is California’s newest private investigator. He doesn’t advertise, he doesn’t have an office, and he’s picky about who he works for, but it doesn’t matter. His chops from thirty years with the LAPD speak for themselves.
Soon one of Southern California’s biggest moguls comes calling. The reclusive billionaire is nearing the end of his life and is haunted by one regret. When he was young, he had a relationship with a Mexican girl, his great love. But soon after becoming pregnant, she disappeared. Did she have the baby? And if so, what happened to it?
Desperate to know whether he has an heir, the dying magnate hires Bosch, the only person he can trust. With such a vast fortune at stake, Harry realizes that his mission could be risky not only for himself but for the one he’s seeking. But as he begins to uncover the haunting story—and finds uncanny links to his own past—he knows he cannot rest until he finds the truth.
At the same time, unable to leave cop work behind completely, he volunteers as an investigator for a tiny cash-strapped police department and finds himself tracking a serial rapist who is one of the most baffling and dangerous foes he has ever faced.
Swift, unpredictable, and thrilling, The Wrong Side of Goodbye shows that Michael Connelly “continues to amaze with his consistent skill and sizzle” (Cleveland Plain Dealer).

"Harry Bosch is still getting mixed up in weird situations, even though he has left the LAPD and is now a licensed private investigator/part time police officer in a small Southern California town. A complicated police case that should be simple and a simple person trace that turns out to be quite complicated have Harry running himself ragged. He's somewhat distracted by the person trace case and still tries to be all things to all people, which of course doesn't work. Half brother Mickey Haller "helps out" too (what's an investigator without a lawyer?). This twisting and turning tale is even more interesting and entertaining than most Bosch novels. I love Titus Welliver (who plays Harry on the Amazon series "Bosch") reading this novel. "
