Trunk Music

Bosch has spent the last 18 months either on leave or stuck on the burglary table as he is eased back into the department after the events of The Last Coyote.  He has also managed to get his house rebuilt.  With the death of Lt. Pounds, Lt. Grace Billets has taken over Hollywood Division.  She proves to be a refreshing change from Pounds.  Finally back on homicide, Harry gets his first call.  A man is dead in the trunk of his car, two bullets in the back of his head.  A little investigation shows he laundered money for the mob and was scheduled for an IRS audit.  Harry and partner Jerry Edgar head to Las Vegas.  To Bosch's shock, he discovers that Eleanor Wish played poker with the dead man on occasion.  He had had an affair with her in The Black Echo.  The stars seem to align and a suspect is nabbed in Las Vegas but then everything goes sideways.
 
Another great book by Michael Connelly.  Excellent pacing, great characters, and there are no coincidence.  Well, except maybe at the very end.  Highly recommended.
