A Darkness More Than Night
Special eBook feature: Includes an author article and excerpts from A Darkness More Than Night, City of Bones, and Chasing the Dime. Fed up with the hypocrisy and bureaucracy of the LAPD, Harry Bosch has resigned and is forced to find a new source of income-and a new way of life. But the life of a retiree doesn't suit him. He has devoted himself to law enforcement, and on his own, he is still drawn towards the abyss. When he rediscovers a startling, unsolved murder among the old case files he's been poring over, he knows he can't rest until he finds the killer, with or without a badge. Moving ever further inside the remarkable character of Harry Bosch, Michael Connelly takes another step closer to the classic novels of Raymond Chandler in this breakneck, relentless, and potent new novel.

So begins the most deeply compelling, frightening, and masterful novel Michael Connelly has ever written, placing Harry Bosch squarely in the path of the most ruthless and ingenious murderer in Los Angeles's history. This spectacularly dramatic and shocking novel will have Michael Connelly's readers desperately hungry for the next novel from "one of America's best writers." (Cleveland Plain Dealer).
