The book begins, though, with Bosch visiting a private client in a very different part of the megalopolis, a posh old-money neighborhood in Pasadena. Hit by budget cuts, the town's police department is happy to have Bosch, who has a sterling record for solving cases (if not for interacting with authority figures). It serves "an island city within the megalopolis of Los Angeles," just over 2 square miles in area, with a population that's 90 percent Latino. So he has gotten a private investigator's license and taken a part-time gig as a reserve (read: unpaid volunteer) officer for the San Fernando Police Department. The settlement would let him kick back and relax, but, as any Bosch fan can tell you, he doesn't know how. In Connelly's new novel, The Wrong Side of Goodbye, Bosch has left the LAPD but can't quit chasing the bad guys.īosch didn't retire quietly he sued the LAPD for forcing him out of his job on the cold case squad, and won. The legions of fans of Michael Connelly's bestselling 19-book series about the Los Angeles detective can be grateful for that. Harry Bosch's idea of retiring is getting two new jobs.
