Product Description

Product Description
THE LAST COYOTE Suspended from the LAPD pending psychiatric treatment Bosch has time on his hands and opens the ancient file on his mother's death. He discovers that the flames of old passion don't die - they kindle fresh fires. 'Joins the top rank of a new generation of crime writers' Los Angeles Times TRUNK MUSIC Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence Bosch's first case is the homicide of a Hollywood producer found in the trunk of a Rolls Royce, bound and shot in the head. Was it the Mafia? Or the IRS? And why is the LAPD so uninterested in the case? 'The strongest crime series being written in America now' Spectator ANGELS FLIGHT When the body of high-profile black lawyer Howard Elias is found on Angels Flight, a funicular in downtown LA, there's not a detective in town who wants the case as Elias specialised in lawsuits alleging police brutality and every LAPD cop is a suspect. And so Harry Bosch gets the case. 'Unputdownable is a word I rarely use, but I have to apply it to this riveting book' Susanna Yager, Daily Telegraph

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Bosch at his best, almost!, 3 April 2002
By A Customer
Michael Connelly again writes three great novels on the terrific Harry Bosch. My only complaint is with Trunk Music. It is the only Bosch novel that I have found both slow and predictable. My advice would be to buy the others separately and save yourself the disappointment!

4.0 out of 5 stars Connelly strays away from Bosch territory, 21 Dec 2006
By Marc J. Nellist (South Shields, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Michael Connelly: Three Great Novels: The Thrillers: The Poet, Blood Work, Void Moon: "The Poet", "Blood Work", "Void Moon" Vol 2 (Paperback)
This collection of books sees Michael Connelly depart from the familiar world of LAPD detective Harry Bosch to provide us with three stand-alone crime novels.
The Poet sees reporter Jack McEvoy become involved in the investigation of a series of police suicides and ultimately the discover of a serial killer. This was a huge success for Connelly and, despite not being of the same calibre as some of his earlier work, is still an intriguing piece of crime fiction and Connelly later wrote a sequel featuring Harry Bosch (see The Narrows).
Blood Work introduces us to Terry McAleb, a former FBI agent and recovering heart transplant patient who is 'hired' by Graciela Rivers to investigate the death of her sister Gloria. As it turns out, McAleb was the recipient of Gloria's heart and he finds himself drawn towards both the case and Graciela. He is horrified to discover a killer who is as twisted and brilliant as anyone he has ever investigated.
For anyone who has seen the movie version starring Clint Eastwood, don't be put off reading the book as this is a gripping thriller and does not have the same ending. The ridiculous Hollywood ending summed up what was a poor film overall and should not detract from Connelly's original novel.
The final book, Void Moon, involves Cassie Black, an ex-con whose life was ruined when her partner was killed during one disastrous night six years earlier when robbing a casino. Cassie is soon drawn into her old ways and ultimately comes up against her nemesis, Jack Karch, a PI who also carries out 'work' for casino owners. Once again Connelly delivers a good thriller.
My only criticism of these 'triple-volume' books is that they sometimes print Connelly's novels out of order. Connelly's books are best read chronologically, even the stand-alone novels not featuring Harry Bosch as there are still many cross-references to his other works. Overall though, this is another strong collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bosch 4, 5 & 6, 26 Jan 2009
By OEJ (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
The LAST COYOTE is the fourth Michael Connelly novel, first published back in 1995, and like the three before it is built around a few days in the life of Hollywood detective Harry Bosch, one of the best-drawn and developed leading characters in contemporary crime fiction. It's a testament to Connelly's skill that while told in the third person the entire story features Bosch on every page yet it draws the reader in from the beginning and there really is never a dull moment. As the tale revolves around Bosch's freelance efforts to find out who murdered his mother some 35 years earlier (in 1961) I was quickly reminded of a similar kind of story by James Ellroy entitled MY DARKEST PLACES (1996). That wasn't a novel however, as Ellroy's late mother (like the fictitious Bosch's) was a prostitute who really was murdered in Hollywood in 1958. Strange that the circumstances and even the time span should be so similar. Anyway, THE LAST COYOTE will be like a comfortable sofa, a perfectly fitting glove, a favourite late-night drink for all those who love Bosch and Connelly's writing in general.

TRUNK MUSIC is the fifth in the series, it isn't the best I would concede, but it's still a well-written story and Bosch is such a magnetic and appealing character that his trials and tribulations are always good value for reading money. The essence of the tale is that a man has been found dead in the boot (trunk) of his own car and the murder bears the hallmarks of a mob assassination, as the victim is a known money-launderer for the Mafia with strong connections to Las Vegas organised crime. Immediately, Harry Bosch is assigned to the case to find out who did it and why. There are some twists and surprises on the journey.

There are two good reasons to pick out Trunk Music as landmark reads in the series, and those reasons are both female. First, this is the story that introduces us to Kiz Rider, who will play such a key role in future novels, and then there is Eleanor Wish, who appeared in Connelly's debut novel THE BLACK ECHO as an FBI agent but whose circumstances are very different five years on. The relationship between Wish and Bosch in this novel is appealing and shows a slightly different side to Harry's personality, but we see rather less into the mind of the slightly enigmatic Eleanor. The conclusion of their love affair (within the context of the story) is a little unconvincing, and if anything seems improbable. But this is nit-picking on my part, as the relationship is really just the 'love interest' aspect to a tale that is otherwise focused entirely on the investigation and which develops into another confrontation between Bosch and the Internal Affairs Department. It does puzzle me that for all Bosch's past successes in solving crimes spreading back 15 years, the IAD is constantly on his tail with a determination to have him ousted from the force at every opportunity. It makes for great reading though, and adds to the sense of pressure and tension.

ANGELS FLIGHT is the sixth in the Harry Bosch portfolio and one of the best, mainly because it further develops the wonderfully well-drawn character that is Detective Harry Bosch. Doubtless inspired by the iconic private investigator Philip Marlow by Raymond Chandler, Bosch is a man who the reader can intimately identify with and relate to, even if we don't have a crystal-clear image in our minds of his exact appearance. It doesn't matter though, because it's what a leading character thinks and does that hard-wires the reader into his persona, such that he appears in every paragraph of every chapter in the book and we are never tired of him. He's not what you might regard as an honourable white knight but he generally says, thinks and does the right thing and his assessments of people and events - often crime scenes and suspects - invariably turn out to be correct, even though we are fascinated as to how Harry will be proved right. And when he gets that feeling that something is wrong about a judgement from his peers or superiors, we know he'll be right about that too, although it's often too complex to guess why in advance. In this tale, a lawyer has been murdered on the Angels Flight train in Hollywood in the early hours of Saturday morning, and what follows is an almost minute-by-minute search for the killer spread over three days. And a lot happens in that short time! The plot is loosely based around one those memorable events in 1990s Los Angeles - the riots following the (white) police beating of (black) Rodney King, with passing reference to another landmark, the OJ Simpson murder trial. It's riveting from first page to last, and confirms what I already knew: that Michael Connelly is THE leading writer of crime fiction in the modern era.

No complaints as a package; this three-novel omnibus is excellent value and highly recommended.
