The Burning Room (Harry Bosch Book 17)

A bullet takes ten years to find its mark...The blistering thriller from #1 bestselling crime writer Michael Connelly.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Not many murder victims die a decade after the crime, so when Orlando Merced dies ten years after being shot, Bosch catches a case with a fresh body and virtually no evidence.

Partnered with rookie detective Lucia Soto, Bosch begins to see political dimensions to the case—a case where, despite the seemingly impossible odds, failure to find the killer is simply not an option.

But not only does Soto start showing signs of becoming a loose cannon, the one piece of evidence they have on the Merced shooting points in a shocking and unexpected direction that could unsettle the very people who want Bosch to close out the case.

It's looking like Orlando Merced may not be the investigation's only victim—and that includes Bosch himself.

'A modern-day master of crime writing . . . arguably the best detective series of our era.' Good Reading
