One of them told Connelly. “I see

Harry’s retiring. We could sure use

him here.” Thus, Bosch’s volunteer

job at the San Fernando Police

Department was born. And thus

a second plot – the hunt for a

dangerous serial rapist – was also

born. Bosch may be getting older,

but he’s sure not slowing down

when it comes to fighting crime and

speaking up for victims’ justice.

Connelly is not slowing down

either. He already has a new novel

percolating, this one a stand-alone

featuring a female cop. We can’t

wait to read it.

 M

ichael Connelly has been

busy. The Wrong Side of

Goodbye is the bestselling

author’s 29th novel, and his 19th

Harry Bosch entry. Connelly is also

involved in the Amazon television

series Bosch, both as a writer and

executive producer. In fact, it was

an experience on the set of Bosch

that sparked an idea for The Wrong

Side of Goodbye.

In book 18, Bosch had finally

retired from the LAPD. In this next

book, he keeps busy with private

investigative work and is hired by

a very wealthy, very old, business

tycoon who’s searching for a

possible long-lost heir.

But that’s only half the plot. The
