New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly sets his novels of suspense against a world divided by race, politics, money, and the media. Here he thrusts Detective Harry Bosch on a harrowing journey into a high-profile murder case–and darkness…An activist attorney is killed in a cute little L.A. trolley called Angels Flight, far from Harry Bosch’s Hollywood turf. But the case is so … case is so explosive–and the dead man’s enemies inside the L.A.P.D. are so numerous–that it falls to Harry to solve it. Now the streets are superheating. Harry’s year-old Vegas marriage is unraveling. And the hunt for a killer is leading Harry to another high-profile L.A. murder case, one where every cop had a motive. The question is, did any have the guts?

Michael Connelly’s character, Harry Bosch, is a great one to follow. Angel Flight, in particular is a favorite because it centers around a geographic area I know and love. The story is also well written and keeps you wondering about the solution until the very end.
The sixth book in the Harry Bosch series. Bosch is thrown into a no win investigation after black attorney Howard Elias is murdered on an LA trolly. The city erupts in demonstrations and riots. A fast paced tale that reads like daily news.
great cop protagonist, good supporting characters, twisting plot
Really shows the seamy side of LA.
I love every Michael Connelly book I have read. They are so well thought out and I love his procedure with the case. Love Harry Bosch
One of the better ones in the series. Different story line from what I remember seeing on”tv”.
It isn’t my favorite Michael Connolly book but it does provide some LA insights.
vintage Connelly
I’ve read ALL the Bosch and Haller novels and really liked almost all of them. (“Nine Dragons” is a particular exception!) This installment, “Nine Dragons”, is one of the relatively early one and, for me one of the best. It has great characters surrounding Bosch and the plot is very intriguing. If you liked any of the Connelly books you’ve read, …
This Bosch story will keep you up all night. It is so good that it was used for the basis of season 4 of the Amazon TV series. All the Bosch books and the TV series are top notch.
For good reason, so many of Connely’s crime-mystery, police-procedurals have made it to big-star movies & Cable TV series.
Reread my first ever Bosch from years ago. I’ve been a fan ever since.
Another great Harry Bosch story.
This is one of my favorite Harry Bosch stories. He’s an LAPD homicide detective who maintains compassion for the victim and thinks on his feet. It has made me want to visit Angels’ Flight in LA.
Great story
I love the Harry Bosch character.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BOOK THAT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF WHILE YOUR MIND TRIES TO FIGURE OUT THE CLUES AND WHO THE PLAYERS ARE IN THIS CASE, YOU’VE FOUND IT…BELIEVE ME ANGELE’S FLIGHT IS ONE OF MICHAEL CONNELLYS’ BEST BAR-NONE.
Well developed characters, good plot, very well written. Would read any Connelly novel.
One of Connolly’s best
Harry goes outside his usual area to investigate a dead lawyer who has ties within the LAPD. He has to go outside his usual jurisdiction and walk a tightrope to solve the crime in his own way and time.
