Angels Flight by Michael Connelly is crime novel full of suspense. It takes place in L.A. with a plot that that begins with the murder of a high profile civil rights lawyer aboard the small trolley Angels Flight, an historic Los Angeles landmark. Attempting to prevent the type of riots that occurred in the city following the Rodney King commotion and also avoiding the further tarnishing of the police department image the deputy chief assigns Harry Bosch and his team of investigators to solve the crime. In the process Harry exonerates one suspect and reveals another. He has a difficult time navigating through the political motives of the police commanders, the racial tension caused by the murder, and the reputation of police misconduct. It was a good read

Harry Bosch is one of my favorite fictional detectives. The whole series is terrific!
My favorite is Nelson Demille's John Corey series. Have you read his books>
Yay! Another Harry Bosch... how have I missed it? I like John Corey too. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. Pat
