Angels Flight

Detective Harry Bosch finds himself thrust into a politically charged murder investigation when a prominent civil rights lawyer is found dead aboard Los Angeles' historic Angels Flight funicular railway. The victim had made countless enemies within the LAPD through his crusade against police corruption and brutality, making virtually every cop in the department a potential suspect. As racial tensions simmer and the media scrutinizes every move, Bosch must navigate treacherous departmental politics while pursuing leads that connect to another controversial case from the past.

Peter Giles delivers a commanding performance that captures both Bosch's world-weary determination and the simmering tension of 1990s Los Angeles. His measured pacing allows listeners to absorb the intricate plot developments while maintaining the procedural's methodical rhythm. The Booktrack Edition enhances the atmospheric noir elements with subtle ambient sounds that complement rather than distract from Giles' narration. The audio format particularly suits Connelly's dense plotting and character development, as Giles' distinct vocal characterizations help distinguish the large cast of suspects and witnesses throughout this complex police procedural.
