Harry Bosch works two crimes at once in Michael Connelly's The Drop; first, a cold case about the long-ago murder of a young woman and second, a politically-charged case featuring the death of the son of one of Bosch's old foes.
The Drop refers to the possible murder or suicide of the young man, who went out the window of a hotel; but it also refers to a slang term about Bosch, Connelly's world-weary and only slightly tarnished L.A. cop, nearing retirement.
I was glad I reached my 50th book of the year with one of my favorite authors and his latest novel. After a bit of a lull, I think Connelly's books have been consistently strong over the last few years. He is a former reporter, evident in his clipped prose and hard-nosed style, which I enjoy.
I think the Harry Bosch novels will stand as one of the great contemporary mystery series when Michael Connelly finally closes the last chapter. Recommended for mystery fans.
I borrowed this from the Farmland Public Library in Farmland, Indiana, and consumed it quickly.
