Nine Dragons

MICHAEL CONNELLY

From the streets of L.A. to the shimmering skyline of Hong Kong, Harry Bosch pursues the criminals who have kidnapped his daughter. Could her disappearance and the case he's been working on 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.
