Harry Bosch, detective de la Policía de Los Ángeles, ha sido siempre un solitario. Hijo de una prostituta asesinada, fue criado en orfanatos y quedó luego marcado por la dura experiencia de Vietnam. Ahora, un caso rutinario de muerte por sobredosis le devuelve a su pasado. La víctima, Billy Meadows, había servido en su misma unidad. Ambos eran "ratas de túnel", ambos combatieron en los túneles del Viet Cong y ambos habían experimentado el horror del "eco negro". Ahora Meadows está muerto, pero su rastro parece apuntar a un gran atraco bancario perpretado a través de la red de túneles del alcantarillado.

Terrence McCaleb, the retired FBI agent who starred in the bestseller Blood Work, is asked by the LAPD to help them investigate a series of murders that have them baffled. They are the kind of ritualized killings that McCaleb specialized in solving with the FBI, and he is reluctantly drawn from his peaceful new life back into the horror and excitement of tracking down a terrifying homicidal maniac. More horrifying still, the suspect who seems to fit the profile that McCaleb develops is someone he has known and worked with in the past: LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch.

Harry Bosch teams up with LAPD Detective Renée Ballard in the new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly. Detective Renée Ballard is working the night beat--known in LAPD slang as "the late show"--and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours to find a stranger rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder is retired detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten under his skin. Ballard can't let him go through department records, but when he leaves, she looks into the case herself and feels a deep tug of empathy and anger. She has never been the kind of cop who leaves the job behind at the end of her shift--and she wants in. The murder, unsolved, was of fifteen-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway on the streets of Hollywood who was brutally killed, her body left in a dumpster like so much trash. Now Ballard joins forces with Bosch to find out what happened to Daisy, and to finally bring her killer to justice. Along the way, the two detectives forge a fragile trust, but this new partnership is put to the test when the case takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. Dark Sacred Night for the first time brings together these two powerhouse detectives in a riveting story that unfolds with furious momentum. And it shows once more why "there's no doubt Connelly is a master of crime fiction" (Associated Press).

His mission: solve murders whose investigations were flawed, stalled, or abandoned to L.A.'s tides of crime.

But something bigger and darker beckons, and Harry must battle to fit all the pieces together. Shaking cages and rattling ghosts, he will push the rules to the limit-and expose the kind of truth that shatters lives, ends careers, and keeps the dead whispering in the night....

In 1993, Harry Bosch was assigned the case of a missing person, Marie Gesto. The young woman was never found - dead or alive - and the case has haunted Bosch ever since. Thirteen years later Bosch is in the Open-Unsolved Unit, where he still keeps the Gesto file on his desk, when he gets a call from the DA's office. A man accused of two heinous killings is willing to come clean in regard to several other murders in a deal to avoid the death penalty. One of those murders, he says, is the killing of Marie Gesto. In confirming the confession Bosch must get close to the man he has sought - and hated - for thirteen years. Bosch's whole being as a cop begins to crack when he comes to realise that he and his partner missed a clue back in 1993 which could have led them to Waits and would have stopped the nine murders that followed the killing of Marie Gesto...

Harry Bosch has been given three years before he must retire from the LAPD, and he wants cases more fiercely than ever. In one morning, he gets two. DNA from a 1989 rape and murder matches a 29-year-old convicted rapist. Was he an eight-year-old killer or has something gone terribly wrong in the new Regional Crime Lab? The latter possibility could compromise all of the lab's DNA cases currently in court. Then Bosch and his partner are called to a death scene fraught with internal politics. Councilman Irvin Irving's son jumped or was pushed from a window at the Chateau Marmont. Irving, Bosch's longtime nemesis, has demanded that Harry handle the investigation. Relentlessly pursuing both cases, Bosch makes two chilling discoveries: a killer operating unknown in the city for as many as three decades, and a political conspiracy that goes back into the dark history of the police department.

¿Qué relación puede guardar un asesinato acontecido dos décadas atrás con una serie de nuertes sucedidas tiempo después sin explicación aparente? El inspector Harry Bosch debe plantearse dicha pregunta cuando la investigación de un antiguo homicidio le retrotrae a la peor época que recuerda de su larga trayectoria profesional: las revueltas raciales que arrasaron Los Ángeles en 1992. A medida que avance en la investigación del viejo caso nunca resuelto, Bosch deberá volver a aquellos turbulentos días en que la ciudad pareció enloquecer y en los que una joven fotógrafa murió bajo extrañas circunstancias. Y es posible que la resolución del asesinato cometido en 1992 también ofrezca respuesta a otros crímenes sin aclarar. -- p. [4] of cover

No hay muchas víctimas que mueran una década después de que se cometa el crimen. Así pues, cuando un hombre fallece por las complicaciones derivadas de un balazo recibido diez años antes, a Harry Bosch le corresponde un caso en el que el cuerpo todavía está fresco pero apenas hay ninguna otra pista. Incluso para un policía veterano sería un caso complicado. Y la nueva compañera de Bosch en el Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles, la detective Lucía Soto, no tiene ninguna experiencia en homicidios. A Bosch y a Soto se les encarga resolver un caso de alta tensión y con implicaciones políticas. Empezando por la bala que ha permanecido alojada durante años en la columna vertebral de la víctima, los detectives deben conseguir nuevas pistas a partir de pruebas reunidas años atrás, y éstas pronto revelan que el disparo no tuvo nada de aleatorio. Cuando la investigación gana velocidad, conduce a otro caso sin resolver en el que todavía hay más en juego: las muertes de varios niños en un incendio ocurrido veinte años atrás. Pero cuando su trabajo empieza a amenazar carreras y vidas, Bosch y Soto deben decidir si vale la pena arriesgarlo todo para encontrar la verdad o si es más seguro dejar que algunos secretos permanezcan enterrados.

The Crossing

Six months ago, Harry Bosch left the LAPD before they could fire him, and then hired maverick Defense Attorney Mickey Haller to sue the department for forcing him out. Although it wasn't the way he wanted to go, Harry has to admit that being out of the game has its benefits. Until Mickey asks him to help on one of his cases, and suddenly Harry is back where he belongs, right in the centre of a particularly puzzling murder mystery. The difference is, this time Harry is working for the defense, aiming to prevent the accused, Da'Quan Foster, from being convicted. And not only does the prosecution seem to have a cast-iron case, but having crossed over to 'the dark side' as his former colleagues would put it, Harry is in danger of betraying the very principles he's lived by his whole career.

His chops from thirty years with the LAPD speak for themselves. Soon one of Southern California's biggest moguls comes calling. The reclusive billionaire is nearing the end of his life and is haunted by one regret. When he was young, he had a relationship with a Mexican girl, his great love.

Desperate to know whether he has an heir, the dying magnate hires Bosch, the only person he can trust. With such a vast fortune at stake, Harry realizes that his mission could be risky not only for himself but for the one he's seeking. But as he begins to uncover the haunting story--and finds uncanny links to his own past--he knows he cannot rest until he finds the truth. At the same time, unable to leave cop work behind completely, he volunteers as an investigator for a tiny cash-strapped police department and finds himself tracking a serial rapist who is one of the most baffling and dangerous foes he has ever faced.

Harry Bosch works cold cases, helping out the under-funded San Fernando police department. When a double murder at a local pharmacy is called in, Bosch is the most seasoned detective on the scene. But with experience, come the ghosts of long-forgotten crimes. A death row inmate claims Bosch framed him, and that new DNA evidence proves it. The LAPD investigators say the case is watertight, leaving Bosch out in the wilderness to clear his name and keep a sadistic killer behind bars. There's only one person he can trust to help prove his innocence: Micky Haller, The Lincoln Lawyer... As both cases tangle around him, Bosch learns there are two kinds of truth: the kind that won't die and the kind that kills.

"A year has passed since LAPD detective Renée Ballard quit the force in the face of misogyny, demoralization, and endless red tape. But after the chief of police himself tells her she can write her own ticket within the department, Ballard takes back her badge, leaving "the late show" to rebuild and lead the cold case unit at the elite Robbery-Homicide Division. For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him--the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free. Ballard makes Bosch an offer: come volunteer as an investigator in her new Open-Unsolved Unit, and he can pursue his "white whale" with the resources of the LAPD behind him. First priority for Ballard is to clear the unsolved rape and murder of a sixteen-year-old girl. The decades-old case is essential to the councilman who supported re-forming the unit and who could shutter it again--the victim was his sister. When Ballard get a "cold hit" connecting the killing to a similar crime, proving that a serial predator has been at work in the city for years, the political pressure has never been higher. To keep momentum going, she has to pull Bosch off his own investigation, the case that is the consummation of his lifelong mission. The two must put aside old resentments and new tension to run to ground not one but two dangerous killers who have operated with brash impunity."--
