Strand Notes
"Nine Dragons" is another thrilling crime novel from bestselling author Michael Connelly, featuring L.A. Detective Harry Bosch. Years ago, Harry worked a case at Fortune Liquors in south L.A., and he made some life-long friends there. So, the murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Harry hard. Determined to catch the killer, Harry delves into a dangerous world he doesn't know, recruiting a detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation of both language and culture. Then, in an instant, the person Harry holds most dear is taken from him. Desperate to regain what he's lost, Harry travels to a place known as Nine Dragons, where he risks everything to confront a deadly Hong Kong triad.
Description
After what seems like a routine murder investigation, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch finds himself in Hong Kong facing the highest-stakes case of his life: bringing his kidnapped daughter home.
Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L.A. neighborhood, a store Bosch has known for years. The murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find the killer.
The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory. He brings in a detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation -- not just of languages but also of the cultural norms and expectations that guided Li's life. He uncovers a link to a Hong Kong triad, a lethal and far-reaching crime ring that follows many immigrants to their new lives in the U.S.
And instantly his world explodes. The one good thing in Bosch's life, the person he holds most dear, is taken from him and Bosch travels to Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he's lost. In a place known as Nine Dragons, as the city's Hungry Ghosts festival burns around him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad's ferocity.
