Publisher Description
From the streets of L.A. to the shimmering skyline of Hong Kong, Harry Bosch pursues the criminals who have kidnapped his daughter.
Harry Bosch is assigned a homicide call in South Los Angeles that takes him to Fortune Liquors, where the Chinese owner has been shot and killed behind the counter in an apparent robbery.
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 and find his daughter. Could her disappearance be connected to the case? With the stakes of the investigation so high and so personal, Bosch is up against the clock in a new city, where nothing is as it seems.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Connelly nimbly balances Harry Bosch's personal and professional lives, both of which take a substantial beating, in his 14th novel to feature the LAPD homicide detective. Bosch, last seen with his recently discovered half-brother, lawyer Mickey Haller, in The Brass Verdict (2008), investigates the shooting death of a liquor store owner. While the murder has none of the hallmarks of a regular gang hit, Bosch discovers the dead man was paying a weekly protection fee to a man Bosch suspects is part of a Chinese triad. Even though Bosch is warned to drop the case, he doesn't take the threat seriously until he receives a video showing his 13-year-old daughter, Madeline, being kidnapped in Hong Kong, where she lives with her mother and Bosch's ex-wife, a former FBI agent. Bosch flies to Hong Kong to try to rescue Madeline, prepared to face down one of the world's most powerful crime syndicates. Tenacious as ever, Bosch is even more formidable in his role as a protective father. 10-city author tour.
Customer Reviews
Connolly adds another dimension
Nine Dragons, arguably my favourite so far in the Harry Bosch series. Connolly has established another level of complexity into was is already a complex fictional life. Great yarn....
Really enjoyed the ride.
Book after book Michael Connelly’s stories get better and better.
Far from his best!
This book just ran out of steam half way through and the very boring ending was out of character for this writer!
A ghost writer maybe? I don't know but certainly disappointing over all!
