The Drop by Michael ConnellyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Michael Connelly “The Drop”, the 17th novel in his Harry Bosch Series, sees Harry being transferred to the LAPD's Open/Unsolved Unit, investigating cold cases and the story opens with him and his partner, David Chu, assigned to a cold case involving a rape/murder of a woman in 1989.
When the DNA found on the victim turns out to be that of Clayton Pell, a convicted predator, who had been an eight years old at the time of the crime, it's thought at first that it probably had been a mistake. But when the same DNA evidence of another murder is found in Pell's file, Harry realizes that there is more than just the one murder for him to solve.
Harry is also assigned to solving the suicide or perhaps murder of George Irving, the son of city councilman, Irvin Irving.
Although the story starts off slow, it soon picks up. The author takes us through some unforeseeable twist and misdirection's that reaches the most unexpected conclusion.
Another good addition to this series.
PS....I watched the Harry Bosch TV Series a while back and the one episode dealt with the murder of George Irving. I really loved watching it. Titus Welliver, is fantastic as Bosch
and it's a really great show. And I'm pretty excited that there's going to be a season 3/4....
