Angels Flight

Michael Connelly

Book 6 in the Harry Bosch Series

This story is the primary plot inspiration for season 4 of the TV series Bosch. A high profile defense attorney is found murdered on the Angels Flight trolley a couple days before opening a high profile trial against the LAPD for abuse of a murder suspect. Since the everyone involved in the trial has an obvious conflict of interest, Bosch and his team are called in to take the case. Bosch is not sure whether a "solve" is actually wanted by the chiefs, but that is what he plans to give them. This is a great "return to LA" and the setting of a few years after the Rodney King and OJ trials gives the political tension a truth. And of course, Bosch is politically irreverent in his pursuit of truth, which is part of the fun.

3 stars (out of 4)
