Publisher Description
In his fierce search for a new case, Detective Harry Bosch discovers a killer hiding behind suspicious DNA evidence -- and a political conspiracy that could destroy the Los Angeles Police Department.
DNA from a 1989 rape and murder matches a 29-year-old convicted rapist. Was he an eight-year-old killer or has something gone terribly wrong in the new Regional Crime Lab? The latter possibility could compromise all of the lab's DNA cases currently in court.
Then Bosch and his partner are called to a death scene fraught with internal politics. Councilman Irvin Irving's son jumped or was pushed from a window at the Chateau Marmont. Irving, Bosch's longtime nemesis, has demanded that Harry handle the investigation.
Relentlessly pursuing both cases, Bosch makes two chilling discoveries: a killer operating unknown in the city for as many as three decades, and a political conspiracy that goes back into the dark history of the police department.
Customer Reviews
The Drop
Typical Connelly page turner! Once you start, you can't stop until the last page.
The Drop
I have read other Michael Connelly books and enjoyed this one as much as The Lincoln Lawyer and The Reversal. It was suspenseful and kept me guessing. I did find the ending left me hanging a bit, wanting more of a conclusion however am certainly recommending this book to my friends!
Among His Best
A great story! The first I've read on my iPad after my Kindle packed in.
One has to wonder if the author has inside knowledge of the LAPD and if the internal politics are truly depicted in his Bosch novels.
I think this story will be very difficult to better!
