Michael Connelly strana 8 z 21

Harry Bosch works cold cases as a volunteer for the San Fernando police department when he's called out to a local drug store where a young pharmacist has been murdered. Bosch and the town's three-person detective squad sift through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big business world of prescription drug abuse. Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch's LAPD days comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him and that there's new evidence which proves it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his former colleagues aren't keen to protect his reputation. He must fend for himself in clearing his name and keeping a clever killer in prison. The two unrelated cases wind across each other like strands of barbed wire, and Bosch learns that there are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness.

Only Harry Bosch can uncover LA's darkest secrets in this new gripping thriller from global bestseller Michael Connelly. 'What do you want me to do?' Bosch asked again. 'I want you to find someone for me,' Vance said. 'Someone who might not have ever existed.' Harry Bosch is working as a part-time detective in the town of San Fernando outside of Los Angeles, when he gets the invitation to meet with the ageing aviation billionaire Whitney Vance. When he was eighteen Vance had a relationship with a Mexican girl called Vibiana Duarte, but soon after becoming pregnant she disappeared. Now, as he reaches the end of his life, Vance wants to know what happened to Vibiana and whether there is an heir to his vast fortune. And Bosch is the only person he trusts to undertake the assignment. Harry's aware that with such sums of money involved, this could be a dangerous undertaking - not just for himself, but for the person he's looking for - but as he begins to uncover Vibiana's tragic story, and finds uncanny links to his own past, he knows he cannot rest until he finds the truth.

Los Angeles Detective Harry Bosch tackles a cold case unlike any he's ever worked, in the new legal thriller from the bestselling author of THE LINCOLN LAWYER and THE BLACK ECHO, Michael Connelly. In the LA Police's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet ten years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other evidence is virtually non-existent. Now Bosch and his new partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Starting with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which soon reveals that this shooting may have been anything but random in this gripping police procedural.

Michael Connelly je majstrom v udržaní dynamiky príbehu a nečakaného rozuzlenia. Za svoju novinársku tvorbu bol navrhnutý na Pulitzerovu cenu a za knihu Básnik smrti dostal Anthonyho cenu za najlepší román v roku 1997. Novinár Jack McEvoy je špecialista na smrť. Na stránkach Rocky Mountain News píše o zločinoch. Je presvedčený o tom, že pri práci sa už stretol s každým druhom násilia. Jeho profesionálny prístup rozbije šokujúca samovražda brata, detektíva z oddelenia vrážd. Jack vie, že brat pracoval na prípade, ktorý sa mu nepodarilo vyriešiť. Usiluje sa upokojiť tým, že píše článok o samovraždách policajtov. Už prvé riadky ho však ponoria do prípadu, v ktorom sa čochvíľa sám stane terčom šialeného vraha.

Detektív Harry Bosch je naspäť v hre a hneď musí riešiť jednu z najzávažnejších vrážd v Hollywoode. V kufre auta sa našla mŕtvola filmového producenta a všetko naznačuje, že išlo o vybavovanie účtov, klasickú mafiánsku vraždu. Harry sa vyberie po stopách peňazí, ktoré ho privedú do Las Vegas. Jeho odhodlanie a výdrž však znamenajú, že si pri riešení prípadu narobí aj veľmi mocných nepriateľov. No a keby nestačilo, že je aj tak po kolená v problémoch, čaká naňho aj najväčší hazard zo všetkých - láska. Miešať prácu so zábavou by ho mohlo dostať na nesprávnu cestu - a predčasne do hrobu, aký vie pripraviť iba lasvegaské podsvetie.

Michael Connelly je jeden z najlepších amerických autorov detektívok. Izba v plameňoch je jeho dvadsiaty siedmy román, v ktorom charizmatický detektív Hieronymus Bosch znovu dostane gangstrov tam, kam patria - za mreže. Harry sa už teší na dôchodok, no osud s ním má iné plány. Na stole si nájde zvláštny prípad vraždy. Vyšetrovanie sa začne až vo chvíli, keď na následky zranení umrie človek, ktorého pred desiatimi rokmi zranil neznámy strelec. Bosch zistí, že strela nevyšla z pištole, ale z pušky. To mení pôvodnú hypotézu o streľbe z auta, ktorou chcel miestny gang zastrašiť hudobníkov, čo neplatili výpalné. Vrásky na čele mu pridáva aj podozrenie, že za celým prípadom je opäť nebezpečné spojenie peňazí a politiky. Navyše mu šéf pridelil novú partnerku, na ktorej sa mu niečo nepozdáva. Keď ju prichytí pri kopírovaní spisov, policajtka vyjde s pravdou von - tak ako kedysi Harry, aj ona pracuje na prípade, čo s ňou priamo súvisí. Chce zistiť, kto založil požiar, pri ktorom zahynulo deväť ľudí - ona sama vyviazla iba zázrakom. A nebol by to Bosch, keby jej nepomohol.
