The Wrong Side of Goodbye

Freshly retired from the LAPD, Harry Bosch takes his first private case from a reclusive Southern California billionaire who wants to know whether the Mexican girl he loved decades ago had his child, and if so, what became of that child. The search for an heir pulls Bosch into questions about his own past and his own choices, while a parallel volunteer assignment investigating a serial rapist for a small cash-strapped police department brings his old instincts fully back to life.

Titus Welliver has voiced Harry Bosch across multiple novels and has made the character as fully his own as Connelly's original conception allows. His performance here carries the weight of a man negotiating between the life he chose and the life that remains, and Welliver's instinct for Bosch's particular combination of stubbornness and compassion is unerring. This Barry Award-winning entry is one of Connelly's most personal Bosch novels.
