  <default_description>In his first case since he left the LAPDs Open Unsolved Unit for the prestigious Homicide Special squad, Harry Bosch is called out to investigate a murder that may have chilling consequences for national security. A doctor with access to a dangerous radioactive substance is found murdered in the trunk of his car. Retracing his steps, Harry learns that a large quantity of radioactive cesium was stolen shortly before the doctors death. With the cesium in unknown hands, Harry fears the murder could be part of a terrorist plot to poison a major American city. Soon, Bosch is in a race against time, not only against the culprits, but also against the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI (in the form of Harrys one-time lover Rachel Walling), who are convinced that this case is too important for the likes of the LAPD. It is Boschs job to prove all of them wrong.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I love a good mystery novel and Michael Connelly writes some of the best.  This is one of a series of books featuring the character Harry Bosch.  <br/><br/>Harry is a tough as nails cop, who in this installment of the series must break in a new partner.  He is also reunited with an FBI agent, who he...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58187397">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Like all Michael Connolly's Harry Bosch novels, this is a good read---though not quite as good as The Lincoln Lawyer.  Harry Bosch, formerly in LAPD homicide, retired, and returned to homicide tangles with the FBI over a terrorist heist of radioactive material (cesium) and a killing (a doctor).

    <body><![CDATA[I saw the various reviews - pro and con - and I have to say that I enjoyed this book.  It certainly wasn't rocket science, but I found it to be very entertaining.  Harry Bosch is a pretty hard-boiled detective, but I enjoy those types of stories every now and again.

    <body><![CDATA[The mark of a good mystery thriller is how efficiently it presents its characters, the plot, and resolves the mystery.  I enjoy Michael Connelly because he's the ultimate in efficiency.  This story, only 225 pages, takes place over 12 hours, start to finish.  A doctor with access to radioactive mate...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51129143">more...</a>]]></body>

I don't know why I love mysteries, but I do, and this is a good one.  <br/><br/>The main character, Harry Bosch, is the sort of person you sometimes imagine yourself to be, or at least I do...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58238690">more...</a>]]></body>
