The Crossing

The Crossing by Micahel Connelly, 388 pages.
Harry Bosch, who had been working as an LAPD Detective since the time of the Vietnam war, has retired. His half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, wants to hire him as an investigator to help defend a man accused of murder. This pretty much goes against everything that Bosch has ever stood for, and he is a little reluctant to help out someone he is convinced is a murdering scumbag. He does agree to look at the casefile, and as his brother knew he would, Bosch finds several discrepancies when he compares the file to the locations, witness statements, and physical evidence. As Bosch anticipated, just working for a defense attorney draws the wrath of many of his former LAPD coworkers, but since Bosch has always chosen to speak for the murder victim, those who can no longer speak for themselves, this bothers him less than he thought it might. A solid part of a great series.
