MICHAEL CONNELLY
A lawyer is found murdered on the eve of a

MICHAEL
landmark trial in this gripping sixth Harry Bosch
novel by No. 1 bestselling author Michael Connelly.

An activist attorney is killed in a cute Los Angeles


trolley car on the Angels Flight railway, far from Harry

CONNELLY
Bosch’s Hollywood turf. But the case is so explosive—
and the dead man’s enemies inside the LAPD are so
numerous—that it falls to Harry to solve it.

The pressure is crushing. The streets are superheating,


his marriage is unravelling and the hunt for a killer
is leading Harry to another high-profile LA murder,
one where every cop had a motive. The question is:

ANGELS FLIGHT
did any have the guts?

‘A Connelly novel is a

ANGELS FLIGHT
thing of cool beauty.’
—Chicago Tribune

‘Michael Connelly is the master


of the universe in which he lives,
and that is the sphere of crime
thrillers. This man is so good
at what he does.’
—Huffington Post
