S. Melfi - The Last Coyote

Connelly, Michael. The Last Coyote. Grand Central Publishing, 1995.

I read the same book that Jesper Sandsjoe read last quarter, The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly. When I read his review on the book I knew it would be an exciting book that I would really get into.
The book follows a man by the name of Detective Harry Bosch whose life as it seems to be falling apart right in front of him. His house was recently condemned due to earthquake damage, his girlfriend had just left him and he began drinking heavily. On top of all that, he had just put his commanding officer through a glass window and faces an indefinite suspension. While serving his suspension he begins to think of his childhood and how his mother was murdered and no one was ever convicted of the crime. He begins going through old pieces of evidence to try and figure out who killed his mother. I agree with Jesper on the fact that you do get more in touch with Connelly’s personal feelings throughout the novel. It is also a very intense book. The whole time I was reading it was on the edge of my seat. This was a very, very good book and I would highly recommend to anyone that’s into this genre of writing to read it.
