DNA discovered at the scene is determined to belong to Da’Quan Foster but DQ’s alibi, that he was visiting a male prostitute, seems to make him an unlikely candidate as the guilty party. The case is the brutal murder of Alexandra Parks, raped and beaten to death in her own bed. That’s evident very early on as Harry tries to settle into retirement and his one and only retirement project, restoring an old Harley Davidson. There’s no story if he doesn’t come on board. He worries what his former colleagues will think of him but he agrees to do a preliminary review of the evidence before deciding whether or not to come on board. Harry is reluctant, equating it with crossing over to the dark side. In the meantime, Mickey wants him to investigate a murder while his usual investigator recuperates from a motorbike accident. He’s currently suing the department for forcing him out, hiring his half-brother, Mickey Haller, to pursue the case.
It’s six months since the last Bosch novel and Harry has resigned after his suspension without pay at the end of the last book. The Crossing is another solid effort from Michael Connelly and even though Harry Bosch has now retired from the LAPD (yeah, we’ve heard that before), it still seems a bit same-same.
