About this ebook

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).

Ratings and reviews

Great works, Michael Connelly, lucid & complex writing. Fascinating weave..present/past time, relationships, personalities. Hieronymus my favorite male character twenty first century literature. Absolutely relish, never tire of Harry Bosch. Truth to tell..had a vivid & powerful character/teacher named Larry Bosch! Serendipitous! Harry/Michael: cogent, intuitive, so human; mission activated, from bittersweet nuances of jazz & black coffee to stern logical focus & heart ripping emotions. Thanks (small word)!

This is a short story focused on Harry Bosch. This would be a single episode of Mulholland Drive or Suicide Run. Fun for what it was.

I know it's only 99 Cents but only 20 pages? This is just wrong. Based on my font preference it appeared to be 48 pages. The story was on 20 pages followed by 28 pages on hype.
