| | | While investigating the murder of a Chinese liquor store owner, Harry Bosch gets word his daughter, who lives in Hong Kong with her mother, has been kidnapped. Bosch drops everything and journeys across the Pacific to a new city where nothing is as it seems.
Annotation:
A south L.A. liquor-store murder investigation gets personal for Michael Connelly's popular hero Harry Bosch in NINE DRAGONS. It feels like Bosch has known John Li, the owner of Fortune Liquor, forever. His murder seems at first like a senseless killing, but quickly proves more complicated, as Bosch and his team uncover connections to a local member of a Hong Kong mafia crew. So when word reaches Bosch that his daughter--who lives in Hong Kong with her mother--is missing, he doesn't miss a beat getting across the globe. He journeys deep into this unknown city, stopping at nothing to bring her to safety.
| Praise| "Readers will be happy to have Harry Bosch back in this action-packed, nail-biting thriller, as Connelly delves further into Harry's world." (top pick) - Sandra Garcia-Myers 11/01/2009 "NINE DRAGONS ignites Bosch's personal and professional lives, bringing them together in an explosive manner....To say that NINE DRAGONS is coiled tight with suspense understates Connelly's accomplishment in portraying Bosch at the cusp of a new world, where the refuge foretold in that matchbook fortune has such portentous resonance and implications...." - Paula L. Woods 10/12/2009 "[L]et's just say that a good writer can get away with just about anything he wants to." - Marilyn Stasio 11/01/2009 |
