The Crossing
The Crossing, the 18th book in Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series, is at the top of our list. Nearly 54,000 people have rated and reviewed this book on Goodreads.
Attorney Mickey Haller seeks the assistance of his half-brother, retired LAPD detective Harry Bosch. All evidence pointed to Haller's client, a former gang member turned family guy, for the gruesome murder of a woman in her bed. The murder rap is solid, but Mickey is convinced that it's a setup.
Bosch is adamantly opposed to working for the defense after leaving the prosecution. He fears it will undermine everything he's worked for as a homicide detective for the past three decades.
On the other hand, Mickey has stated that he will not intervene in the outcome. Harry has the burden of proving his client's guilt, and if he succeeds, the prosecution is required to turn over the evidence.
Bosch grudgingly accepts the case, despite the fact that it goes against all of his instincts. What he needs to find out is in the prosecution's file, which is riddled with flaws. Who did it if not Haller's client?
Harry begins his investigation with the assistance of his former LAPD partner, Lucy Soto. His research soon takes him into the police department itself. That moment, he understands that the killer he's been pursuing has also been following him, as well.
