Terry McCaleb's enforced quiet lifestyle on the island of Catalina is a far cry from the hectic excitement of his former role as homicide detective in L.A. However, when a small time criminal is found dead McCaleb is persuaded to profile the killer. Six years ago the victim had been arrested by Harry Bosch for murder but was later released uncharged. In doing what he does best, reviewing the crime scene tapes and investigative records, McCaleb picks up a clue the sheriffs missed, and discovers that the killer left a message at the crime scene – a message that seems to implicate Detective Harry Bosch… 'A brilliant piece of writing that wrings every bit of emotion from the contrast between the two detectives' Daily Telegraph

Detective Hieryonymus 'Harry' Bosch finds himself yet again in charge of a case that no one else will touch. This time his job is to nail the killer of hot shot black lawyer Howard Elias. Elias has been found murdered on the eve of going to court on behalf of Michael Harris: a man the LAPD believes guilty of the rape and murder of a 12 year old girl. Elias had let it be known that the aim of his civil case was not only to reveal the real kiler but to target and bring down the racist cops who beat up his client during a violent interrogation. Bosch is going to have to take a long hard look at some of his colleagues in a post Rodney King Los Angeles Police Department that is rife with suspicion and racial hatred.

Michael Connelly returns with a new character and a story that reaches new levels of intricacy and suspense-his most gripping work to date.Thanks to a heart transplant, retired Los Angeles -based FBI agent Terrell McCaleb has a new lease on life. Formerly a well-known media fixture as pointman for the bureau in the investigation of serial killers, he leads a quiet life now, spending his time renovating the fishing boat he lives on in the Los Angeles Harbor.

Racked with the guilt of having lived because of someone else’s murder, McCaleb springs into action. Using his FBI connections and his expertise in crime scene interpretation, he embarks on a private investigation of his donor’s murder-a search leading him to a crime far more complex, and far more dangerous than he’d imagined.

"Cielo Azul" – in Dangerous Women (2005); a Harry Bosch and Terry McCaleb story (backstory to A Darkness More than Night)

The bones have been buried for years, but the cold case doesn't deter Bosch. Unearthing hidden stories, he finds the child's identity and reconstructs his fractured life, determined that he not be forgotten. At the same time, a new love affair with a female cop begins to blossom for Bosch-until a stunningly blown mission leaves Bosch in more personal and professional trouble than ever before in his turbulent career. The investigation races to a shocking conclusion, leaving Bosch on the brink of an unimaginable decision-one that will leave readers breathless and hungry for Michael Connelly's next masterpiece.

Kiedy pies jednego z mieszkańców okolicy Hollywood Hills znajduje kość, wydaje się, że nie ma w tym nic nadzwyczajnego. Ale właściciel zwierzęcia – emerytowany lekarz – rozpoznaje w zdobyczy pupila ludzkie szczątki. Policja podczas przeszukiwania terenu odkrywa niemal kompletny szkielet chłopca. Badania kryminalistyczne ujawniają, że ofiara została zamordowana kilkanaście lat wcześniej, a za życia była regularnie maltretowana. Detektyw Harry Bosch rozpoczyna śledztwo, by rozwikłać mroczną zagadkę sprzed lat, ale po upływie tak długiego czasu dochodzenie jest niezwykle trudne, a Departament Policji Los Angeles naciska, by jak najszybciej zamknąć sprawę.Cmentarzysko zostało nagrodzone Anthony Award i Barry Award w kategorii "Najlepsza powieść 2003".Michael Connelly – nominowany do nagrody Pulitzera amerykański dziennikarz i autor serii kryminałów powiązanych postacią detektywa Harry"ego Boscha, a także opowiadań i reportaży. W Polsce znany m.in. z powieści Krwawa profesja (2000, zekranizowana przez Clinta Eastwooda), Wydział spraw zamkniętych (2005), Muzyka z kufra (2006), Adwokat (2006), Echo Park (2007).Connelly jest mistrzem w łączeniu kryminalnej intrygi, rozgrywającej się najczęściej w filmowym środowisku Hollywood, z wiarygodnie ukazanym dramatem psychologicznym. Żaden z tych składników nie góruje przy tym nad drugim, a ich połączenie świadczy o silnym wpływie, jaki na Connelly"ego wywarła twórczość Raymonda Chandlera i Rossa Macdonalda.

From No. 1 bestseller Michael Connelly's first career as a prizewinning crime reporter-the gripping, true stories that inspired and informed his novels. Before he became a novelist, Michael Connelly was a crime reporter, covering the detectives who worked the homicide beat in Florida and Los Angeles. In vivid, hard-hitting articles, Connelly leads the reader past the yellow police tape as he follows the investigators, the victims, their families and friends-and, of course, the killers-to tell the real stories of murder and its aftermath. Connelly's firsthand observations would lend inspiration to his novels, from The Black Echo, which was drawn from a real-life bank heist, to Trunk Music, based on an unsolved case of a man found in the trunk of his Rolls Royce. And the vital details of his best-known characters, both heroes and villains, would be drawn from the cops and killers he reported on: from loner detective Harry Bosch to the manipulative serial killer the Poet. Stranger than fiction and every bit as gripping, these pieces show once again that Michael Connelly is not only a master of his craft, but also one of the great American writers in any form.

Tras dos años a la espera de un donante compatible, Terry McCaleb se recupera de un trasplante de corazón que le ha obligado a cambiar por completo de estilo de vida. Su única meta es reparar el velero en el que se ha retirado y dejar definitivamente atrás sus días como agente del FBI especializado en casos de asesinos en serie. Sin embargo, antes de empezar una nueva vida deberá zanjar un asunto pendiente: resolver el asesinato de Gloria Rivers, la mujer cuyo corazón late en su pecho.

Harry Bosch tiene la oportunidad de reabrir un caso en el que trabajó en el pasado y que había quedado sin resolución; se traga del asesinato de Marie Gesto, una joven desaparecida años atrás. Bosch tuvo siempre el presentimiento de que nunca encontrarían con vida a Gesto y cuando las circunstancias le forzaron a cerrar el caso, se quedó con la desagradable sensación de haber dejado escapar al culpable por obviar un detalle de la investigación. Por ello recibe, entre escéptico y aliviado, la confesión de un hombre que alega estar detrás del asesinato de la joven. Las circunstancias que envuelven el caso son atípicas dado el interés de un político por llegar a un pacto con el presunto culpable. Arguye que resultaría beneficioso paa ambas partes: el detenido detallaría qué pasócon otros casos irresolutos cuya autoría se atribuye, evitando así la pena de muerte. A Bosch no le gusta la propuesta, pero no puede reprimir su deseo de cerrar un caso que le ha inquietado durante años.

Detective Harry Bosch reopens one of his own unsolved cases and comes face to face with a psychotic killer he has been seeking for years. A thrilling new novel by the author of the #1 bestseller The Lincoln Lawyer. In 1995 Marie Gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket. Harry Bosch worked the case but couldn't crack it, and the 22-year-old woman was never found. Now Bosch is in the Open-Unsolved Unit, where he still keeps the Gesto file on his desk, when the DA calls. A man accused of two heinous killings is willing to come clean about several others, including the murder of Marie Gesto. Bosch must now take the confession of the man he has sought-and hated-for eleven years. But when Bosch learns that he and his partner missed a clue back in 1995 that could have led them to Gesto's killer-and stopped nine murders that followed-his whole being as a cop begins to crack. Michael Connelly's enthralling new novel pits the detective People magazine calls "one of the most complex crime fighters around" against one of the most sadistic killers he has ever confronted. It confirms that Michael Connelly "is the best writer of suspense fiction working today"
