Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
The third appearance of L.A. police detective Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch finds the renegade cop's life in even more of a mess than usual. He's hiding out in his own earthquake-demolished, condemned home, and he's been suspended from the force for sticking his commander's face through a window. He's got time to kill, so he unearths the 30-year-old, unsolved murder of a Hollywood whore named Marjorie Lowe. Harry happens to be the victim's son, and in the midst of his midlife crisis, it becomes necessary for him to find out who killed her. The first step is to interview the surviving investigating officer, Jake McKittrick, who points Harry back into a past of corruption, greed, ambition, and blackmail. Today's self-help literature frequently asks readers to reassess their pasts, but too often what they find becomes an excuse. Harry examines his past, acknowledges the damage, and sets out to heal himself. It's heady territory for a cop novel, but Edgar winner Connelly handles it with style and grace. Wes Lukowsky

From Library Journal
After being put on involuntary stress leave for attacking his boss, LAPD detective Hieronymous "Harry" Bosch tackles the 30-plus-year-old murder case of a Hollywood prostitute?his mother. Bummed out by the failure of his latest romance as well, Harry faces a deeper, psychological crisis: his life's "mission" may end if he solves the case. Harry continues, nonetheless, soon discovering that the police and politically powerful others purposely glossed over his mother's murder. With prose that cuts to the quick, a masterfully interwoven plot, and gripping suspense, Connelly renders a fitting sequel to The Black Echo (LJ 1/92).

I love this book because I love Bosch's passion. I love his drive. As soon as he decides to investigate his mother's murder in 1961, you know that despite a huge gap of 40 years that he will solve it nevertheless and that the murderer will be finally caught. This book is a fine example of how Connelly can really write and it is a spiders web of twists and turns that will ensnare you until the story ends.
What I particularly enjoyed the most was Bosch losing his temper at the therapist. He was ordered to the therapist against his will and so he has no problem taking his anger out on her. Everytime she asks a stupid question, he throws it back at her and I was really cheering for him. Same when Internal Affairs starts investigating him. They're just asking for a fight so when Bosch loses his temper, you suddenly find yourself egging Bosch on!!
The ending is a real twist and I never saw it coming. I thought I had worked out the murderer long before the end but as usual, I realised that I had absolutely no idea.
Read this book immediately. I loved it and you'll love it too. Classic vintage Michael Connelly. It doesn't get much better than this!

Michael Connelly hält bisher, was für ihn versprochen wird.
Ich habe begonnen, seine Hieronymus-Bosch-Bücher nach der Reihe zu lesen (The Last Coyote ist das vierte Buch), und wurde bisher nicht enttäuscht.

If you haven't read the books that precede this one in the Harry Bosch series, I strongly urge you to stop reading this review and any others about The Last Coyote and go back to The Black Echo and work forward in order the books were published. You'll miss a lot of the character development that makes this such a special book unless you've seen a lot of Harry at work before he takes on this case while suspended for stress leave.
As this book opens, Harry is receiving "counseling" after attacking his superior officer. Harry finds this to be like listening to fingernail scratches on a chalkboard. He's also having house problems: His stilt-based house with a great view has been condemned by the city after the big earthquake. The earthquake also shook his girlfriend so much that she left town.
Frustrated that he can't work, Harry decides to take a look at the file on his mother's death. From there, he begins to work the case. It's a tremendous opportunity for readers to understand Harry's youthful years much better. As you might expect, not all things are as they seemed at the time of the murder. Uncovering the truth is difficult and painful. But in the end, justice is done.
One of the beauties of this book is how much it shows about a range of emotions and motives that people employ to look out for themselves. In a way, Harry is an aficionado of depravity, it's part of being human. It's just that he has to stop it when it goes too far . . . or arrange for justice when the eggs cannot be unscrambled any more.
I don't recall a more bittersweet story in this series. You'll be thinking at the end: What if?
