Connelly, Michael - The Last Coyote - Grand Central Publishing, 1995
The Last Coyote is the forth in the series about Michael Connelly’s character, the L.A. detective Harry Bosch. Detective Bosch, who usually is very calm and collected, has gotten in trouble. His life is a mess. His house has been condemned because of earthquake damage, his girlfriend has recently left him and he is drinking too much. He has also put his commanding officer through a glass window during a fight, and Harry is now suspended indefinitely pending a psychiatric evaluation. While on suspension, Bosch notices that there is something else that bothers him. In 1961, when Harry was only a kid, his mother was murdered, and no one was even accused of the crime. Harry relentlessly follows up the old evidence of the thirty-year-old unsolved crime. As always, Connelly’s writing is very informative and realistic. In this book you as a reader get more involved in Harry’s personal feelings and thoughts than you usually do in most of the other books in the series. This is also a very intense book. You don’t have to read a bunch of pages and wait for it to get interesting, but already in the beginning of the book it is fun to read. This is one of my favorite novels and anyone who likes the crime genre should most definitely read this.

this novel seems very exciting. cop/detective novels are usually very suspenseful
Based on the description it looks like it is time to add a new series to my reading list.
I like it when the main character has some sort inner conflict to over come, and based on the description is seem s as though Bosch has not had one of the easiest lives. and since the the murder he is now investigating has many emotional connections Bosch will definitely have to face a lot that most people would not want to. I love crime novel's and this sounds like it would be a good one.
