Harry Bosch searches for the truth in the new thriller from NYT best-selling author Michael Connelly.
Harry Bosch is back as a volunteer working cold cases for the San Fernando Police Department and is called out to a local drugstore where a young pharmacist has been murdered. Bosch and the town’s three-person detective squad sift through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big business world of pill mills and prescription drug abuse.
Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch’s LAPD days comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him and seems to have new evidence to prove it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his former colleagues aren’t keen to protect his reputation. He must fend for himself in clearing his name and keeping a clever killer in prison.
The two unrelated cases wind around each other like strands of barbed wire. Along the way Bosch discovers that there are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness.
Connelly/Bosch what else do you need to know? Absolutely a thrill ride! Didn’t want it to end! Multiple cases going at once, with some books, I (and the plot) would have gotten lost. Not a chance of that with this author! I’ve read all the Harry Bosch books and I highly recommend them. If you haven’t read them ( & I can’t see why), then you need to start. Never a disappointment. Ever.
Not my favorite Harry Bosch story by a long shot! I have been an avid fan of Connelly’s Harry Bosch adventures for many years and have consistently looked forward to the next one coming off the book press. Two Kinds of Truth is not your prototypical Harry Bosch story. Frankly I found it too complex and lacking in the linear suspenseful flow of Connelly’s other Bosch stories. If Connelly wanted to expose the dark side of prescription drug abuse he should have invented a different protagonist.
Another fabulous Harry Bosch book 5++ starsÂ
