The Drop / Michael Connelly / 388 pages

One of our favorite detectives, Harry Bosch, is at it again. He works in the LAPD unsolved cases bureau and gets an unbelievable DNA lead on a 22 year old rape/murder case. At the same time, he is called in to investigate the death of the son of his old enemy Irvin Irving. With his usual nose to the grindstone style, Harry addresses both cases and tries to avoid the political pitfalls of the LAPD. Harry is a great character. I like these newer Harry Bosch novels; he's much happier since he stopped smoking and his daughter lives with him. He doesn't always play by the book, but he always gets his man.
