A review by liberrydude
Trunk Music by Michael Connelly
5.0
Bosch is back to work in Hollywood with a new supervisor, a woman lieutenant. He no longer has a partner, he has two now. Not a reflection on him, just a new strategy of teams of three. So he goes with the flow, whatever. Little does he suspect that she will be the boss he has always needed.
On a weekend a body is found in the trunk of a Rolls Royce in view of the Hollywood Bowl. Harry’s team is on it. Looks like a mob hit but the LAPD’s organized crime bureau wants nothing to do with it. Or do they? The case has a Las Vegas connection as the victim was a wealthy movie producer who gambled frequently and was on his way home from there when he was murdered.
Harry is off to LV where he runs into an old flame and things escalate quickly. It’s turf war time as LAPD, LVPD, and the FBI all juggle for their piece of the pie. And what would a Bosch case be without the involvement of Internal Affairs? Lots of subterfuge and misdirection as the reader is hooked on what looks to be a sure resolution only to be shocked not once but several times with startling developments. I never saw them coming.
It will be interesting to see where Bosch goes in the next book. Reading Connelly is as exciting as it gets. Pacing myself slowly through this superior series.
