In this "tense" thriller and #1 New York Times bestseller, Detective Harry Bosch teams up with Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller to track down a killer who just might find them first (Wall Street Journal).Detective Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD, but his half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, needs his help. A woman has been brutally murdered in her bed and all evidence points to Haller's client, a former gang member turned family man. Though the murder rap seems ironclad, Mickey is sure it's a setup.Bosch doesn't want anything to do with crossing the aisle to work for the defense. He feels it will undo all the good he's done in his thirty years as a homicide cop. But Mickey promises to let the chips fall where they may. If Harry proves that his client did it, under the rules of discovery, they are obliged to turn over the evidence to the prosecution.Though it goes against all his instincts, Bosch reluctantly takes the case. The prosecution's file just has too many holes and he has to find out for himself: if Haller's client didn't do it, then who did? With the secret help of his former LAPD partner Lucy Soto, Harry starts digging. Soon his investigation leads him inside the police department, where he realizes that the killer he's been tracking has also been tracking him.Thrilling, fast-paced, and impossible to put down, The Crossing shows without a shadow of doubt that Connelly is "a master of building suspense" (Wall Street Journal).

"Not really a review but a note:<br/><br/>I had a love/hate war going on with myself through this book. I loved the Mac but got really upset several times with Artemis. I know she was doing all of this to save her child but I did feel so bad for Mac everytime she betrayed him. <br/>On the upside, and what earned this book 5 stars from me, was the magic and the spells! I really enjoyed reading about their trip to hell and the demons and how they escaped them using the life magic and the death magic together. I thought Nash did a great job with that and it definately saved the book for me."
"Gosh, Ivy, I read this book so long ago I can’t remember. Sorry. I know that I really love the Bosch series— both the books and the Amazon Prime series. "

"I love Bosch much more than his Haller so I was glad that he was much more the main character as compared to the current Bosch books where he takes a back seat to the female detective whose name escapes me. Plus I liked the fact that this was the first book where he was now assisting in the defense of an accused person."

"I read everything he writes. Have you tried author Daniel Silva? That's my favorite series. "
