Michael Connelly is a reliable author and his Harry Bosch
character proves steady. In The Crossing, Harry is
retired but pulled back into the game and even crosses over to the other side
to help the defense. Mickey Haller (The Lincoln Lawyer) needs him to
investigate on the down low, but of course that is impossible to maintain. A
woman’s been murdered and Haller’s client, a former gang member, has been
charged. But the more Harry digs, the more it looks like a set up. Lots of
arrows point to an inside the police system problem.
Harry keeps digging and soon finds a trail of murders
connected to a watch, a plastic surgeon, and more. Connelly builds suspense and
as a reader you will enjoy pulling together the clues. Harry is reluctant and
yet he’s bored as a retired officer. He’d rather be in the trenches, reading
murder reports, and doing follow-up face to face. This is a very satisfying
read that keeps you dodging bullets and rooting for Harry.
Sounds like an engrossing story. I like those that keep you tied up in what's happening and pull you along through the plot.
