Lost Light

The vision has haunted him for four years--a young woman lying crumpled in death, her hand outstretched in silent supplication. Harry Bosch was taken off the Angella Benton murder case when the production assistant's death was linked with the violent theft of two million dollars from a movie set. Both files were never closed. Now retired from the L.A.P.D., Bosch is determined to find justice for Angella. Without a badge to open doors and strike fear into the guilty, he's on his own. And even in the face of an opponent more powerful and ruthless than any he's ever encountered, Bosch is not backing down.

Filled with emotions but it didn't affect the mystery portion of the plot. Written in first person which adds more depth and personal trait to the Harry Bosch character. Loved and enjoyed reading it. I just can't get enough of Harry Bosch.

This is the 9th book in the Harry Bosch series. This is the first book after Harry has left the LAPD and turned private detective. I gave it three stars because it was a good continuation of the series and a good crime/mystery to solve but it focused on a cold case that lacked urgency and Harry did something really stupid. Harry is driven and has a moral compass and integrity that he always holds onto but in this case he acted like he was owed justice, that he was above the law and better than the law, with no good explanation as to why - he had no real investment in the victim or crime so it didn't make a lot of sense as to why he acted as he did. I think the idea was that without the LAPD we was lost and that's been resolved at the very end which I won't spoil.

Reviewers and readers agree that Michael Connelly is writing at the top of his game, giving us crime fiction about the dark side of Los Angeles and reinventing the form with every book he writes. At the end of CITY OF BONES Bosch quit the LAPD, but he's back in a new role, one that will give him more freedom to pursue the cases that compel him. When he left the LAPD Bosch took a file with him - the case of a film production assistant murdered four years earlier during a $2 million robbery on a movie set. The LAPD - now operating under post 9/11 rules - think the stolen money was used to finance a terrorist training camp. Thoughts of the original murder victim are lost in the federal zeal, and when it seems the killer will be set free to aid the feds' terrorist hunt, Bosch quickly finds himself in conflict with his old colleagues and with the FBI.
