The Wrong Side of Goodbye HARRY BOSCH Book 21 edition by Michael Connelly Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

In The Wrong Side of Goodbye, former LAPD detective Harry Bosch is hired as a private eye to find out whether a reclusive billionaire has an heir related to him by blood. Now well into his 80s, the man had left behind a pregnant underage Mexican girl “on the wrong side of goodbye” when he was a college student. Harry’s search will lead him into the heart of Chicano culture in Southern California. The investigation will also expose him and his teenage daughter to great danger, as the board members of the billionaire’s company seek to protect their access to wealth and power.
Two mysteries, unfolding in tandem

Meanwhile, Harry has been taken on as a volunteer reserve officer by the San Fernando Police Department to investigate cold cases. He has succeeded in linking a series of bold and brutal rapes through his usual dogged research. While he pursues the search for an heir to the billionaire’s fortune, Harry and his young female partner find themselves ever closer to identifying the rapist. Unlike so many other mystery novels, in which all the strands of the plot are tied together neatly in the end, the two cases unfold in tandem.
Harry Bosch may be aging, but he’s still in fine form

In so many instances, long-running series of mystery novels lose steam after a time. But Michael Connelly’s work remains fresh and compelling even in the 19th novel of his Harry Bosch series. (He has also written ten other mysteries between 1992 and the present.) The Wrong Side of Goodbye is detective fiction at its best. It’s no mystery that Connelly is now producing for Amazon the third season of a television series based on the Harry Bosch novels.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye HARRY BOSCH Book 21 edition by Michael Connelly Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

When I looked at 's prices for the various formats of "The Wrong Side of Goodbye" I thought my eyes deceived me. I looked a second time, more carefully. Yes, no doubt about it. Here was a brand new book, an instant best-seller, by a very popular author, and the latest in one of the most popular crime fiction series ever written. But something seemed out of whack. Could this be? The price was higher than the Hardbound price! Outrageous! Perhaps it's happened before....but this is the first time I've seen such pricing. Perhaps it's a test to see just how far publishers can go ( says their prices are set by the publishers). Well, if that's the case then my answer is "too far", "straw that broke the camel's back" etc etc etc.

For the past couple of years since the settlement of some shameful legal cases highlighting this industry's pricing sins, the consumer's cost of e-books has been inching up, up, up. Meanwhile the quality - namely typos, lack of universal page numbering, missing pages, and other - has been incredibly poor. Not a product line to be proud of. But enough is enough. What to do!?

I buy over 150 books a year and I'm BOYCOTTING. I'm not buying another ebook over $9.99. Let this industry try to make a profit selling hardbounds. I can still read hardbounds; I did it for 40 years before ebook readers. And let's see.....how many major national bookstore chains are still in existence? One, is it? And how much money can electronic retailers make delivering single copies of a hardbound.....? Maybe it's time to re-think that pricing strategy, guys.
Harry Bosch left the LAPD again before they could fire him over a minor infraction. Since then he has successfully sued for being illegally forced into retirement. Once again Bosch has set up his shingle as a private investigator, but at the same time he is working as an unpaid part-time detective in the town of San Fernando outside of Los Angeles.

In his private investigator role, he is invited to meet an aging aviation billionaire, Whitney Vance, who has a proposition - find out if he has any surviving offspring who could become the heir to his huge fortune. At age 18 Vance had a relationship with a young Mexican girl called Vibiana Duarte, but soon after becoming pregnant she disappeared and Vance had never seen her again.

Bosch quickly finds a lead that Vibiana had a son who was adopted out shortly after birth. This lead fades when Bosch finds that the son perished when he was shot down in a helicopter in Vietnam. As soon as he starts to find more leads Bosch realises that he is being followed by powerful parties who don't want any surviving relatives to be found. When his search takes a more dramatic and serious direction he turns for help and legal protection to his half-brother, Mickey Haller.

At the same time, Bosch gets tied up almost full time with a major case for the small police force of San Fernando - a serial rapist who gains entry by cutting through the screen door of victims' houses. The hunt for the "Screen Cutter" heats up when more victims are identified and a criminal profile suggests that it is only a matter of time before the rapist also becomes a killer.

Connelly showed his skills in weaving Bosch's investigatory skills between two totally different cases. It was certainly a change not to see him constantly doing battle with his police superiors. There is not much background about his personal life as his daughter Maddy is at college and only has a cameo role.

Over the last year, I have been revisiting and enjoying several of Michael Connelly's earlier books. IMHO this one stands out as one of the best he has written and maintains his top place in US crime fiction and showcased Connelly's skills in keeping this long-running series alive. We will certainly see a lot more of Harry Bosch in the future.

I was able to review this book now as it was published in Australia on 24 October 2016 and won't be released in the US until 1 November 2016. It certainly deserves to be in the bestsellers list leading up to the festive season.
