... not only for deep-rooted fans!Whoever likes the way Michael Connelly writes HAS to read those three short stories!It is one great entertainment for a small price.In the first story CHRISTMAS EVEN the "Three-Kings-Pawnshop" is burglarised for the forth time in two years, and it's Christmas Eve. Only this time there is a difference to the former three irruptions: The burglar is still inside, when the owner opens the shop...And Harry Bosch will find a link, a very sentimental one, to his own past.In the second story FATHER'S DAY Harry Bosch has to go down hard on a father who lost his only son in an alledged accident. Only that the truth is the worst a father like Harry is able to tolerate...In the last one, ANGLE OF INVESTIGATION we see Harry Bosch as a rookie on his second day on the beat of the streets of L.A. And he finds his first DB, dead body. More than twenty years later, in the Open-Case-Unit he has to face bits and pieces and persons of his own past...There is also a bonus, the first chapters ofThe Drop, the Harry-Bosch-novel that came before his latestThe Black Box (A Harry Bosch Novel). I read both books and liked them very much.So altogether it's a deal not only for friends of our hero Harry Bosch, but for everyone who loves perfect written police procedure.Try alsoMulholland Dive: Three short stories, without Harry, but with the first chapters ofThe Black Box (A Harry Bosch Novel). Worth Your time and money, too!
