Switchblade

Switchblade

In this original short story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch seeks justice for the forgotten

NOTE: This file includes a preview of Michael Connelly's novel The Crossing.

In "Switchblade," an anonymous tip puts Bosch on a case that has remained unsolved for decades, the vicious stabbing of a teenage boy whose body was found in an abandoned Old Hollywood restaurant.

Cold cases are often the toughest: With no body, no murder scene, and no fingerprints, Bosch nevertheless gets lucky when DNA evidence from the murder weapon points to a known killer. But the DA insists that science alone is not enough - he needs the case to be bulletproof before he'll take it to court.

Determined to speak for those who can no longer speak for themselves, Bosch has one chance to wrench a confession out of a cold-blooded killer, or risk letting him walk free for good.

In this gripping, never-before-published story by "master of the crime thriller" (Huffington Post) Michael Connelly, Detective Harry Bosch quenches his thirst for justice and shows why he is "one of the most popular and enduring figures in American crime fiction" (Chicago Tribune).

Reviews
  • A classic Harry Bosch

    Love Harry Bosch, have for years. Easy read, especially if you have read the stories from the beginning stories. Wait till he’s “retired”.

  • Anticlimactic

    I enjoyed reading this book all the way to the end. The ending did not really seem like an ending. It seemed like more of a comma. You are left waiting for the results.

  • Short but good

    I appreciated reading the frustrations of those who bought this expecting more - that helped me set my expectations appropriately. While no doubt a quick read, I still enjoyed seeing the world of Bosch from another angle.

  • Waste

    Love Michael Connelly books but will say for the first time this was a waste of money and time. Story started out so well and then ended suddenly. For die hard fans do not buy to be disapointed....

  • Outline for a 30 minute TV episode

    I will first admit that when I purchased the book I was so excited to see a new book by Michael Connelly with Bosch that I pre-purchased without realizing it was a short story. My bad. The story was so superficial and predictable. It wasn't even a good short story. It appears to me Connelly is preparing to write for movies and TV. If this is his new focus I will not purchase anymore Connelly books. And I have read every one.
