The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly
4.0
It is as though Connelly can read my mind, or I his, in this second book that tosses us back into the past and present, surrounding Harry Bosch. In this tale, Bosch, who is on involuntary leave because of an incident with a superior, examines his mother's death and the mystery surrounding it. We get another great glimpse into his life and his past.
While remaining reckless with those around him (destructive even), Bosch has helped shape this image of a character who does not let his past stay there. From tunnels in 'Nam to the case that cost him his pride, to the murder of his mother. All cases that Connelly paints so well in books come to life on the page. Bosch needs to get to the bottom of it, even though it is over 30 years cold.
As Bosch pieces things together and gets himself into trouble (impersonating the lieutenant he roughted up to get suspended), all in the hopes of finding answers. When key political figures pop up as suspects, Bosch does not back down and hopes to crack the case wide open, all while still pissing everyone off at once.
A great read, especially since we see Bosch at his most vulnerable, and worth reading if you have an interest in seeing Bosch at his best.
Great work, Mr. Connelly.
