Book Reviews of The Last Coyote (Harry Bosch)
Book Review: A haunting tale of revenge
Summary: 4 Stars
The Last Coyote is the fourth book in the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly. It is a gripping tale of Bosch's obsession with avenging his mother's death. Bosch's mom, a prostitute, was murdered when he was eleven. Until recently, it was too painful to even look at the details of the case. Now on administrative leave for assaulting a superior, Bosch spends his days talking with a police psychiatrist and trying to keep his earthquake damaged home from being condemned.
While on leave, Bosch begins his own unofficial investigation into his mom's death over thirty years ago. He sneaks around LAPD headquarters gathering all the evidence and reviewing what the original detectives came up with. Bosch finds some powerful names in the murder book, including former district attorney Arno Conklin and his right hand man Gordon Mittell. Some of the principles of the case are still alive, some aren't, but once Bosch starts investigating, it becomes apparent that some people want the past to be left alone.
This is one of the best books in the series, but not one you should read if you haven't read other books in the series. This book really delves into Bosch's past life and the darkness that has taken over his soul. There is a lot of introspection that first time Bosch readers probably wouldn't care about. There are a few twists and turns as well as a shocking death of one of the characters. You certainly don't have to read this series in order, but this is one where it would be great to do because Michael Connelly has been a great writer from the first book until the last.
Summary of The Last Coyote (Harry Bosch)
Harry attacked his commanding officer and is suspended indefinitely, pending a psychiatric evaluation. At first he resists the LAPD shrink, but finally recognizes that something is troubling him and has for a long time. In 1961, when Harry was twelve, his mother, a prostitute, was brutally murdered, and no one has ever been accused of the crime.With the spare time a suspension brings, Harry opens up the thirty-year-old file on the case and is irresistibly drawn into a past he has always avoided. It's clear that the case was fumbled and the smell of a cover-up is unmistakable. Someone powerful was able to divert justice and Harry vows to uncover the truth. As he relentlessly follows the broken pieces of the case, the stirred interest causes new murders and pushes Harry to the edge of his job... and his life.
