Michael Connelly writes a riveting page turner about a detective who takes a call from a
doctor living in the Hollywood hills area of Los Angeles. His dog has discovered a human
bone. The detective goes out to investigate and finds himself drawn into a quagmire of
murder, abuse, alcohol and suicide.
The child, a twelve-year old, went
missing and it was never reported. He had been murdered and buried in a shallow grave.
Suspicion shrouds one man, a convicted pedophile, who had the child’s skateboard in his
garage…evidence of his connection to this cold case. The detective, orphaned at that
same age, feels compelled to complete his investigation, even when his superiors are not
as supportive as they should be. He needs closure for the family ripped apart long
before this gruesome discovery, and for himself.
City of Bones will
have you sitting on the edge of your seat. The twists and turns in this novel make it a
page turner hard to put down until you have read the very last chapter.
