  <default_description>Harry Bosch is assigned a homicide call in South L.A. that takes him to Fortune Liquors, where the Chinese owner has been shot to death behind the counter in an apparent robbery.

Joined by members of the department's Asian Crime Unit, Bosch relentlessly investigates the killing and soon identifies a suspect, a Los Angeles member of a Hong Kong triad. But before Harry can close in, he gets the word that his young daughter Maddie, who lives in Hong Kong with her mother, is missing.

Bosch drops everything to journey across the Pacific to find his daughter. Could her disappearance and the case be connected? With the stakes of the investigation so high and so personal, Bosch is up against the clock in a new city, where nothing is at it seems.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[In his latest Harry Bosch novel, 9 Dragons, author Michael Connelly gives readers a thrill ride and throws in some surprises along the way. Despite what some readers have said on blogs and in book reviews, Connelly lets Bosch get personal in this outing, and it’s probably one of the best Bosch nov...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77460257">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[#14 of the Harry Bosch Series-Wow Wow Wow.  Connelly has really out done himself with this one.  I was totally taken off guard with this.  There are so many twists and turns in this story.  Plus, Harry’s own turmoil.  And the apple does not fall far from the tree here.  The thing I like about Mich...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77449837">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I discovered Michael Connelly a few months ago and spent the whole summer reading the entire series.  Whew!  I was eager to read 9 Dragons, of course, the minute it came out.  Its not my favorite, but I think it will be a turning point of the series.

Actually, it was only because I seen an article about this book in an HK news feed that I became aware of it and decided to give it a go.<br/><br/>This is the late...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77534509">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Michael Connelly may be the best mystery writer on the scene today, but I would not consider this one of his best books.  It's part of the Harry Bosch series and begins with the death of a Chinese store owner. It's rather slow and complex as the stage is set in terms of establishing the cultural ram...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74397971">more...</a>]]></body>
