Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Movie, Book, and Music Review Book-- Michael Connelly's Bosch novel "Angels Flight"

This may be a repeat as I read it some years ago and just reread it. It's about the murder of two people on 'Angels Flight', a funicular in L.A. One of the victims is an African-American lawyer who is well known for suing the police for abuses. He has a lot of enemies. The other is a Hispanic woman who does housekeeping. It's the last trip of the night at 11 pm. As you can imagine the murder of the lawyer sets off a lot of emotion and some rioting. Detective Bosch and his team are directed to investigate. The case going to court in a few days that the lawyer was working on is about an abusive interrogation of a man for murdering a child. He was acquitted but now has a lawsuit against the city. The lawyer had gathered a lot of information and the murder sets off a huge investigation. The murdered child had been put through some other terrible experiences and Bosch ultimately gets to the bottom of things.

A fine book.

Originally published 1999, now available in paperback.

Yep, fine book. My favorite by him with the Bosch character is "Lost Light" which IMHO is even better.

Just listened to that on audio book. I think I read it before. Still good. Harry Bosch is a great character. I have watched the series much. I think it is on Amazon Prime so I could start at the beginning.
