    About this audiobook

    An activist attorney is killed in a cute little L.A. trolley called Angels Flight, far from Harry Bosch's Hollywood turf. But the case is so explosive – and the dead man's enemies inside the L.A.P.D. are so numerous – that it falls to Harry to solve it.

    Now the streets are superheating. Harry's year-old Vegas marriage is unraveling. And the hunt for a killer is leading Harry to another high-profile L.A. murder case, one where every cop had a motive. The question is, did any have the guts?

      A prominent black activist attorney is killed in a cute little L.A. trolley called Angel's Flight, far from Harry Bosch's Hollywood turf. But the case is so explosive and the dead man's enemies inside the L.A.P.D. are so numerous that it falls to Harry to solve it. Now the streets are superheating with potential riots. Harry's year-old Vegas marriage to Eleanor is unraveling. And the hunt for a killer is leading Harry to another high-profile L.A. murder case, one where every cop had a motive.
    • 5/5
      When Harry Bosch is sent out to investigate the death of accomplished lawyer Howard Elias he could never have anticipated the political minefield he is about to step into. At its heart this is a story of police corruption and the length that some senior officers will go to further their career, and in the process turn a blind eye to the stinking underbelly of so called law enforcement in the city of Los Angeles. The novel is written at a time when the mishandled case of one retired football player, OJ Simpson, and the beating of Rodney King are still fresh in the minds of so many Americans...."Everyone was oblivious to the seething hatred and anger that churned in other parts of the city- beneath the surface like an undiscovered fault line waiting to open up and swallow all above."..... Yet against all of that, one grizzled detective, is prepared to take a noble stand against evil and wrong doing where ever that may occur. I adore the writings of Michael Connelly and his depiction of life, its hardships and cruelties through the eyes of one honest and incorruptible policeman the great antihero Harry Bosch. I sympathize with his pain, and his longing for some inner peace, his search for a partner, a soulmate someone to share his anguish and mop his fevered brow...It is the style of writing and Connelly's ability to get under the skin of Bosch, laying him open to an eager reader, that makes for some wonderful thoughtful observations...."The rich kept you waiting so that you could feel free to admire all that they had."..."Happy is the man who finds refuge in himself."...."He believed in the one shot. He didn't know if he'd had his yet- it wasn't the kind of thing you knew and understood until you looked back over your life as an old man."...."It's about hope, Detective she continued. Most of the people in the minority communities of Los Angeles have no power, have no money, have no voice. They subsist on hope for these things. And Howard Elias was hope for many of them"..... Everyone in this book is perfect from the strong storyline to the well drawn and very believable characters, from the sad and deeply troubled ex cop Frankie Sheehan to the political ambitions of Deputy Chief Irvin Irving. I rarely ever read a book by Michael Connelly that is not worthy of at least a 5 star review and this is no exception. Highly Recommended.
    • 3/5
      The second half was far more interesting than the first. It took me a week or so to get through the first 50%, and about a day to finish the last half.
    • 4/5
      Harry Boesch is one of my favorites and this is another good read. Harry's assigned to find out who murdered a high profile lawyer who is about to go to go to court with a big lawsuit against the LAPD. Meanwhile, his personal life is falling apart.
    • 5/5
      One of the best Bosch stories so far. Connelly really keeps the reader guessing about the real killer of a controversial civil rights lawyer in LA. It seems like just everyone is against Bosch in this book, his coworkers, his supervisors, the media, his family, and of course his usual enemies antagonize him. The ending is classic Connelly, shocking yet just right.
    • 5/5
      Another good Harry Bosch thriller. A well conceived plot involving police procedures, racial tension and 'bad apple' cops overlaid against two murders on the Angels Flight railway in LA
    • 4/5
      This is a good Connelly (most of his books are.) There is a fine observation of police procedures and behaviors. It is important in this book which turns around the murder of an activist lawyer hated by most of the LAPD. The mystery is well constructed, well written, and engrossing. Everything we want ...
    • 3/5
      Harry Bosch number 6, I do enjoy this series. Just enough to make me a little stressed for the main character, but he always gets out of it.
    • 4/5
      This is a great series, which I highly recommend. In this one, sixth in the series, Detective Harry Bosch is called upon to investigate the murder of a high profile black lawyer whose claim to fame is suing the LAPD for civil rights violations made during their arrests. This case in turn leads to another high profile case, the murder of a twelve year old girl.While working night and day, Harry's one year old marriage is dissolving, he reunites with his old partner, and he has to play the chain of command game while trying to solve both murder cases.I did not see the end coming, which was great!
    • 4/5
      Again, another surprise ending. I think I knew all along the outcome of this one, but Connelly puts enough twists and wrong turns in that will keep yousecond guessing yourself through this one.
    • 2/5
      Not my favorite on the Harry Bosch novels, but it was still entertaining.
    • 4/5
      This is the strongest I have read in this series so far. Like in all, I enjoy Bosch's conflicts with the chain of command. But this book illustrated more clearly how that conflict is rooted in his personal integrity. To paraphrase p. 296 of the hardback edition: The real shelter of home is inside yourself.
    • 5/5
      This book makes you always think and re-think who is the killer. Makes your mind work as a detective. I felt that I was another detective with the main character but all my predictions I could only tell myself. Michael Connelly makes you feel that you are not just a reader but brings you in another world, the world of being a detective and thinking for yourself. The coolest thing I find in this series is that the plot is in my home town LA, which makes me enjoy more and identify more with the places and character. I recommend this series for people who loves mystery.
    • 4/5
      I love the Harry Bosch series. I picture him as being an old, sexy, grouch.
    • 5/5
      Angel's Flight is one of the more ambitious of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels. The key victim is a black lawyer who specializes in suing the LAPD. There's loads of topical substance here -- race relations, intradepartmental politics and maneuvering, tensions between cops and FBI agents, and more. Angel's Flight is often held up as one of the best of the Bosch novels, but I think its flaws -- it's just a smidgen over the top with Boschian righteousness, in particular -- hold it back. Never the less, it's a very high-quality contemporary noir that I recommend highly.
    • 5/5
      Angels Flight refers to a funicular in Los Angeles where a murder occurs. Harry Bosch as usual solves it in his usual style. A cracking good read.
    • 2/5
      It makes me sick that this guy so regularly sells the crap out of his books. He's a poor writer, and this is a lame book. I'd sell it off, but I seem to have some inability to ever sell a book I own.
    • 3/5
      not bad, based in LA, readable but again DUE PROCESS is a good thing.Descriptions evocative enough that I kinda want to go look at the places.
    • 5/5
      One of the very best of the Bosch books, this is a must read for all Bosch fans
    • 5/5
      I love all Michael Connelly books about Harry Bosch excellent
    • 5/5
      Excelente. El manejo de la secuencia de eventos es fabulosa. Nuevamente el maestro Connelly logra cautivar con su ingenio.
    • 3/5
      The book was okay, but the narrator was awful. Felt like I was watching a movie preview the whole time. And it was tough to get into or listen to. Other than that. I love Bosch.
    • 4/5
      I would have given this 4 stars, but the whole Eleanor thing which bugged the heck out of me in the prior book got on my last nerve in this one. The whole relationship never rang true for me. The plot, minus Eleanor, was solid but I figured everything out long before the end. Not my favorite Bosch, but still a good read.
    • 5/5
      I was quite lucky to get my hands on an advanced reading copy of this - the latest Harry Bosch mystery. I pretty much love anything that Connelly writes but this was not my favorite. LA Homicide Detective Bosch is called in to head up a special case. The high profile anti-cop lawyer, Howard Elias has been assassinated and the general sentiment is that a cop did it. The main problem I had is that a key link in the plot is based on an internet function that is possible but very highly unlikely. Until authors really understand computers, they should steer clear of using them as plot points. Even having said that, I can't wait for the next Connelly!
    • 4/5
      A nice stimulating interlude while also tackling a fairy tale (The Nutcracker) and a history book (Centuries of Change).
      Bosh overcomes adversaries on both sides of the law to get to the bottom of this shooting.
      A good read.

      The Harry Bosch books just keep getting better! Harry is tasked with investigating the murder of a prominent attorney who has hammered the LAPD for civil rights abuses. It's strongly suspected that the murderer is a police officer and Harry is one of the few on the force who can be trusted to investigate cleanly and not do a half-ass job in order to protect the reputation of the department or a fellow officer. Also, he's married to Eleanor Wish, but that's not going well, since she seems to want to do nothing but hang out at casinos and is also resentful of Harry's work. Great plotting, believable fake-outs, satisfying ending. What more could you want?
    • 5/5
      One of my favorite Bosch novels.
    • 4/5
      A great Bosch read. It seems that Bosch is developing but as he suffers he doesn't hang on. He's righteous but he knows he's kind of a prick. ther great tour of LA with Bosh at the wheel. I look forward to the next one.
    • 4/5
      Another grim, noirish, very engaging Harry Bosch mystery. While it suffers a bit from a comparison to the last installment, Trunk Music (which I thought was brilliant), this is still a very worthwhile read. And if I read it right there seems to be a very large thread dangling for future installments.
