Description
In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Detective Harry Bosch and his rookie partner investigate a cold case that gets very hot . . . very fast.
In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but all other evidence is virtually nonexistent. Now Bosch and rookie Detective Lucia Soto are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Beginning with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which soon reveal that this shooting may have been anything but random. In this gripping thriller, Michael Connelly shows once again why Harry Bosch is "one of the greats of crime fiction" (New York Daily News).

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"The pleasures of a Connelly tome are many: complex, Easter-egg-strewn plots, terrific minor characters, L.A.'s gritty underbelly. These aren't mysteries you'll forget. They'll stay with you, even haunt you."--Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly
"You know Harry already. You know what to expect from the storyteller Michael Connelly. Both of them deliver superbly."--Don Oldenburg, USA Today (3.5 out of 4 stars)
"As always, Connelly pulls off a fast-paced, well-drawn police procedural. . . . Consistently entertaining . . . The Burning Room will more than satisfy his fans. . . . Bosch may be up for retirement soon, but I doubt anyone would complain if he did his thing for another 20 years."--Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times
"Connelly has the magic touch. . . . Connelly is one of the best crime writers in the business, and he continues to tell compelling character-driven tales."--Jeff Ayers, Associated Press
"A doozy of a tale . . . As long as Harry always remains patrolling on the margins of this series, its greatness is secure."--Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post
"Typically excellent"--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
"A searing success . . . The Burning Room is a terrifically satisfying trip."--Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"[Connelly is] a master at construction."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"Superb . . . Bosch shows himself once again to be the master and if he follows through on the retirement, his absence would leave an irreplaceable gap in crime fiction."--Jack Batten, Toronto Star
"The Burning Room offers a nuanced, nicely-honed performance from Connelly."--Daneet Steffens, Boston Globe
"Michael Connelly has yet another winner. . . . Let's hope [Bosch] sticks around for one more book."--Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Excellent . . . The Burning Room excels as a look at how power, prestige and the media can override the best intentions."--Oline Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
