Shadow of Death

[
Pull a trigger and everything changes. Whatever is good and normal dissolves before your eyes. Medical student Laura Nelson had just finished examining her first patient-bullet wound to the head. As she leaves the hospital an angry voice erupts with obscenities. Shaken and confused she quickly walks the deserted two blocks to her car keeping an eye on the dark riot-torn neighborhood around her-eager to get home to her husband and young sons. Suddenly a rough hand drags her into a violent double crime. A trigger is pulled and Laura's world changes forever. Set amidst the upheaval and smoldering chaos of the Detroit riots of 1967 this story unfolds in a real place at a real time. These riots created a terrible fissue in the social fabric of that city engulfing ordinary people and spinning the normal patterns of life into a downward spiral. "Shadow of Death" is a story that could happen to any of us especially those who believe their world and all they cherish will hold together no matter[]

The Drop (Harry Bosch)

[
Harry Bosch has been given three years before he must retire from the LAPD and he wants cases more fiercely than ever. In one morning he gets two.

DNA from a 1989 rape and murder matches a 29-year-old convicted rapist. Was he an eight-year-old killer or has something gone terribly wrong in the new Regional Crime Lab? The latter possibility could compromise all of the lab's DNA cases currently in court.

Then Bosch and his partner are called to a death scene fraught with internal politics. Councilman Irvin Irving's son jumped or was pushed from a window at the Chateau Marmont. Irving Bosch's longtime nemesis has demanded that Harry handle the investigation.

Relentlessly pursuing both cases Bosch makes two chilling discoveries: a killer operating unknown in the city for as many as three decades and a political conspiracy that goes back into the dark history of the police department.[]

The Litigators

[
The partners at Finley & Figg—all two of them—often refer to themselves as “a boutique law firm.” Boutique as in chic selective and prosperous. They are of course none of these things. What they are is a two-bit operation always in search of their big break ambulance chasers who’ve been in the trenches much too long making way too little. Their specialties so to speak are quickie divorces and DUIs with the occasional jackpot of an actual car wreck thrown in. After twenty plus years together Oscar Finley and Wally Figg bicker like an old married couple but somehow continue to scratch out a half-decent living from their seedy bungalow offices in southwest Chicago.

And then change comes their way. More accurately it stumbles in. David Zinc a young but already burned-out attorney walks away from his fast-track career at a fancy downtown firm goes on a serious bender and finds himself literally at the doorstep of our boutique firm. Once David sobers up and comes to grips with the fact that he’s suddenly unemployed any job—even one with Finley & Figg—looks okay to him.

With their new associate on board F&F is ready to tackle a really big case a case that could make the partners rich without requiring them to actually practice much law. An extremely popular drug Krayoxx the number one cholesterol reducer for the dangerously overweight produced by Varrick Labs a giant pharmaceutical company with annual sales of $25 billion has recently come under fire after several patients taking it have suffered heart attacks. Wally smells money.

A little online research confirms Wally’s suspicions—a huge plaintiffs’ firm in Florida is putting together a class action suit against Varrick. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of people who have had heart attacks while taking Krayoxx convince them to become clients join the class action and ride along to fame and fortune. With any luck they won’t even have to enter a courtroom!

It almost seems too good to be true.

And it is.

The Litigators
is a tremendously entertaining romp filled with the kind of courtroom strategies theatrics and suspense that have made John Grisham America’s favorite storyteller.[]
