false 32502 25 Michael Connelly, whose novel <I>The Poet</I> won the 1997 Anthony Award for Best Mystery, is already recognized as one of the smartest and most vivid scribes of the hard-boiled police procedural. Now, with his much-anticipated sixth Harry Bosch novel, <I>Angels Flight</I>, Connelly offers one of the finest pieces of mystery writing to appear in 1998. Bosch is awakened in the middle of the night and, out of rotation, he is assigned to the murder investigation of the high-profile African American attorney Howard Elias. When Bosch arrives at the scene, it seems that almost the entire LAPD is present, including the IAD (the Internal Affairs Division). Elias, who made a career out of suing the police, was sadistically gunned down on the Angels Flight tram just as he was beginning a case that would have struck the core of the department; not surprisingly, L.A.'s men and women in blue become the center of the investigation. Haunted by the ghost of the L.A. riots, plagued by incessant media attention, and facing turmoil at home, Bosch suddenly finds himself questioning friends and associates while working side by side with some longtime enemies. <I>Angels Flight</I> is a detective's nightmare scenario and is disturbingly relevant to the racially tense last decade of the 20th century. Amidst the twists and turns of his complex narrative, Connelly affirms his rightful place among the masters of contemporary mystery fiction. <I>--Patrick O'Kelley</I> 2449470 1998 Angels Flight (Harry Bosch, #6) total:1857|5:415|4:851|3:531|2:57|1:3| 1857 7189 2330 106 4 1 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 01:58:15 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 02:01:32 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Sep 23 15:45:24 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 15:53:29 -0700 2009 Angels Flight is not one of his better works.
