Two Kinds of Truth

Harry Bosch has settled into a quieter life working cold cases for the small, under-funded San Fernando police department. Then a double murder at a local pharmacy pulls him back to the front line, just as an old case returns to haunt him: a death row inmate claims Bosch framed him decades ago, and says new DNA evidence proves it. With the LAPD calling the case watertight, Bosch is left on his own to clear his name and keep a sadistic killer behind bars.

His one ally is Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, and watching the two of them work together is a particular pleasure. Connelly keeps both investigations moving with the steady, procedural confidence he is known for, and the result is a tightly built Los Angeles crime novel for anyone who likes their detectives weathered, stubborn and honest to a fault.
