The Overlook – Michael Connelly

Description

The Overlook is the thirteenth novel in the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly, a gripping crime thriller that blends murder investigation with high-stakes suspense. Detective Harry Bosch, recently transferred from the LAPD’s Open Unsolved Unit to the elite Homicide Special squad, is called to investigate the murder of a doctor found dead in the trunk of his car. The case quickly escalates when Bosch discovers that the victim had access to radioactive cesium, now missing, raising the possibility of a terrorist plot that could threaten a major American city.

As Bosch retraces the doctor’s steps, he must navigate not only the criminals but also interference from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, including his former lover Rachel Walling, who consider the case too sensitive for local police. Connelly masterfully combines procedural detail, psychological insight, and fast-paced suspense, keeping readers on edge as Bosch races against time to prevent disaster.

Ideal for fans of police procedurals, thriller fiction, and high-stakes crime novels, The Overlook delivers tense action, intricate plotting, and the relentless determination of one of contemporary crime fiction’s most compelling detectives.
