The Drop -- Michael Connelly

<b>In his fierce search for a new case, Detective Harry Bosch discovers a killer hiding behind suspicious DNA evidence -- and a political conspiracy that could destroy the Los Angeles Police Department.</b> <p/>DNA from a 1989 rape and murder matches a 29-year-old convicted rapist. Was he an eight-year-old killer or has something gone terribly wrong in the new Regional Crime Lab? The latter possibility could compromise all of the lab's DNA cases currently in court. <p/>Then Bosch and his partner are called to a death scene fraught with internal politics. Councilman Irvin Irving's son jumped or was pushed from a window at the Chateau Marmont. Irving, Bosch's longtime nemesis, has demanded that Harry handle the investigation. <p/>Relentlessly pursuing both cases, Bosch makes two chilling discoveries: a killer operating unknown in the city for as many as three decades, and a political conspiracy that goes back into the dark history of the police department.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Michael Connelly<br><b>Publisher:</b> Grand Central Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 08/20/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 400<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.25w x 1.12d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781538772232<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Michael </b><b>Connelly</b> is the author of thirty-eight previous novels, including <i>New </i><i>York </i><i>Times</i> bestsellers<i> Resurrection Walk, Desert Star</i>, and <i>The Dark </i><i><i>Hours</i>.</i> His books, which include the Harry Bosch
