"12, not 24 "

With the same intensity of the popular TV series 24, this Harry Bosch story moves with high tension compressed into twelve hours of non-stop action. When Bosch is called to investigate a murder at 1 a.m., he is drawn into a theft of radioactive material by the victim. The FBI and Homeland Security involve themselves in the murder probe, and Bosch finds himself pitted against government agents intent on taking the case away from him. His experience and intuition lead him to see through devious misdirections by the killers, and he must use all his skills to save his job and track down the perpetrators of an ingenious crime. A thrill-ride well worth the reading.

OK, but too short

I enjoyed the story line as it is very much vintage Connelly. Also liked the part about Harry and Rachel Walling teaming up again. However, at 225 pages (hardcover edition) you could hardly call this a novel. It's more a novelette. The buyer should be warned in advance that you are not getting a novel for the money you are paying.

Harry does it again

Starts out a little slow, but picks up speed and excitement. An obvious read after reading Echo park. Harry Bosch is his usual self, why follow the rules?

Suspenseful

This is a short and punchy read, focusing on the execution style murder of a physicist and the theft of radio active material which had been meant for the treatment of cancer patients. The prospect of terrorists being responsible for the theft, with the horror of the material being used to create havoc, sends the police into shock so, when Harry Bosch is sent to investigate and runs into Federal Agents, headed by persons from his past, both sides try to seize control. It's very cleverly written and I must admit to being caught in total surprise at the ending. If you enjoy a suspense thriller which can be read in a night's sitting, this is just for you!
