If you have never read Michael Connelly, you couldn't have a better introduction than this volume of three outstanding novels:

The Last Coyote: LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is suspended from the force for attacking his commanding officer. Unable to remain idle, he investigates the long-unsolved murder of a Hollywood prostitute - his mother.

Trunk Music: Harry returns to the force to investigate the murder of a movie producer with Mafia ties. Up against both the LAPD's organized crime unit and the Mob, Harry follows the money trail to Las Vegas, where the case becomes personal.

Angels Flight: The murder of a prominent attorney who made his career suing the police for racism and brutality lands Harry's friends and associates on the list of suspects - and he must work closely with longtime enemies suspicious of his maverick ways to investigate them.

'Guaranteed to keep you riveted until the very last page. No one writes a better modern thriller than Connelly' - (Time Out).
