Used book – The Goodbye Look, Michael Connelly

Now a reserve detective at the San Fernando Police Department, Harry Bosch is contacted by an aerospace magnate who, sensing his death is near, wants to know if he has an heir. In his youth, the old man had to leave his girlfriend under pressure from his family. Did she have a child by him? This question is not to the liking of the board of directors, eager to share the spoils, and Bosch is quickly threatened. To make matters worse, his colleagues at the police station are unable to catch a particularly dangerous serial rapist... High-stakes missions.

A good vintage. In just a few pages, Connelly hooks us. Catherine Balle, Aujourd’hui en France.

A beautifully dark and excellently crafted crime novel. Bruno Corty, Le Figaro littéraire.
