Overview

The man most hated by the LAPD - a black lawyer who has made his name by bringing lawsuits alleging racism and brutality by police officers - has been found murdered on the eve of a high-profile trial. The list of suspects includes half the police force. And Harry Bosch is the detective chosen to lead the investigation.
The political dangers of the case are huge. If it's not investigated fairly, the public outcry could make the Rodney King riots look tame. But a full investigation will take Bosch into the ugliest corners of law enforcement.
To make matters worse, Bosch's wife, Eleanor, has disappeared. Bosch fears she has left him - or succumbed to her gambling addiction. He's not sure which would be worse.
Angels Flight reads in a white heat. It continues to up the ante of the series that is "raising the hard-boiled detective novel to a new level - adding substance and depth to modern crime fiction." (Boston Globe)

Angels Flight

Written by Laurajean on December 9th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 4/5

This book headlines Harry Bosch, a mans man type of cop who sees things that others don’t see when it comes to solving crimes. His seeming super-human detective powers makes you want to place him on the top 10 people you’d like to have dinner with just to dig into his hypersensitive analysis gene. The book is heavily tied into the civil unrest in the shadow of the Rodney King Riots in Los Angeles and focuses a lot on the knee-jerk reaction of its citizens whenever they feel wronged by the police. It is a well constructed story that leaves several issue unresolved and will probably tie into the next book in the series. The narration was well done. I particularly appreciated the extra sound effects when characters were on the phone or giving a press conference. It added an extra touch you don’t often have in audio books.
