Nine Dragons by Michael Connelly


Detective Harry Bosch is investigating the death of John Li, murdered in his liquor store in south Los Angeles. It appears Li was killed by a member of the Chinese triad. But then the case takes a personal turn for Bosch when his teenage daughter, Madeline, is kidnapped in Hong Kong, where she lives with her mother. Bosch suspects that Madeline's disappearance is connected with his case in Los Angeles, especially since he received a phone call to back off the Li case right before finding out about her abduction. As Bosch rushes to Hong Kong to get Madeline back, he knows the case at home might fall apart. Bosch, however, must rescue his daughter, no matter the cost. Nine Dragons is the first full-length original Harry Bosch book since 2006 and is a pivotal book in the series. It's been a long wait to see Bosch in action, but definitely worth it.
