Used book – City on Fire, Michael Connelly

1992. Los Angeles is in the throes of riots when Harry Bosch discovers the body of Anneke Jespersen, a Danish journalist. At the time, it was impossible to dwell on this victim, one among many for the police deployed in the burning city.

Twenty years later, at the Open-Unsolved Unit, Bosch, who has never forgotten the young woman, reopens the murder case. Thanks to a shell casing found at the crime scene and a black box full of archives, the detective traces a Beretta that puts him on the trail of individuals willing to do anything to hide their crime. Anneke was perhaps among those journalists who cause trouble when they dig a little too closely into what others have every interest in keeping buried...

The social and political resonance rings true. It's well-researched, spectacular. L’Express.

Adrenaline guaranteed. We devour this thriller with the same thirst for truth as its hero. Version femina.
