The crossing - michael connelly

In this tense thriller and #1 New York Time s bestseller, Detective Harry Bosch teams up with Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller to track down a killer who just might find them first ( Wall Street Journal ).

Detective Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD, but his half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, needs his help.

A woman has been brutally murdered in her bed and all evidence points to Hallers client, a former gang member turned family man.

Though the murder rap seems ironclad, Mickey is sure its a setup.

Bosch doesnt want anything to do with crossing the aisle to work for the defense.

He feels it will undo all the good hes done in his thirty years as a homicide cop.

But Mickey promises to let the chips fall where they may.

If Harry proves that his client did it, under the rules of discovery, they are obliged to turn over the evidence to the prosecution.

Though it goes against all his instincts, Bosch reluctantly takes the case.

The prosecutions file just has too many holes and he has to find out for himself: if Hallers client didnt do it, then who did? With the secret help of his former LAPD partner Lucy Soto, Harry starts digging.

Soon his investigation leads him inside the police department, where he realizes that the killer hes been tracking has also been tracking him.

Thrilling, fast-paced, and impossible to put down, The Crossing shows without a shadow of doubt that Connelly is a master of building suspense (Wall Street Journal).
