Inā aia kekahi meʻe o ka puke moʻolelo lawehala i kū i waho no kēlā minamina kikoʻī o ka eccentric, ʻo ia ka Harry Bosch o ʻO Michael Connelly. No ka mea ke alo nei mākou i kahi mākaʻikaʻi kahiko me nā ukana nui o kāna mau puke he iwakālua ma hope ona. A inā hiki i kahi protagonist ke ola i kēlā ʻano overexposure, no ka mea he mākia maoli ia.
Malia paha i loko o kēia puke moʻolelo kahi ʻano o ke kōkua i kēia manawa. Ma muli o ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Renée Ballard ʻaʻole ia he mea kūpono hou ma hope o ka ʻike nui ʻana i kāna puke Kau kau po. A na kēia mākaʻi e kuhikuhi i nā ala i loko o Hollywood piha i nā hoʻohālikelike maoli, kahi e loaʻa mau ai ka wai ʻeleʻele o nā moʻolelo weliweli a pau.
ʻO ka halawai ikona ma waena o Bosch a me Ballard i hele mai me ka hana ʻino ʻole o ke kipa ʻana ma hope o nā hola e Harry i ka mākaʻi o Hollywood. Kūlohelohe ʻaʻole ia e pena i kekahi mea ma laila. ʻAʻole paha ʻo ia e ʻike ʻia e nā mea āpau ma kāna mākaʻi ma San Fernando.
No laila e pana aku ana ka ʻelemakule maikaʻi ʻo Harry. Akā i ka hopena e hui pū nei nā mea i hiki ke hiki i ka kipaku ʻana me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopaʻi nui.
Akā manaʻo wau ua ʻike maopopo ʻo Harry i ka mea e hana ai ke waiho ʻo ia i ka faila kahiko o ka pepehi kanaka ʻana o Daisy Clayton ma ka papa. Hoʻoweliweli mau nā hihia kahiko i ka mākaʻi ke waiho lākou ʻaʻole pau.
Nānā ʻo Ballard i kēlā palapala ma kēia ʻano a, pehea lā e ʻole ai, hoihoi i nā mea ʻoi loa o kahi hana hoʻopailua e pili ana i ka make ʻana o kahi kaikamahine he ʻumikūmālima wale nō ona makahiki.
Ma hope iki o kāna huakaʻi i manaʻo ʻole ʻia i ka mākaʻi, e ʻike ʻo Harry ua hoʻokō ʻia kāna maunu. Me Ballar, ke hoʻohana pono nei i kona wā ʻōpio, kāna hana a me kāna ʻano, e ʻimi lākou i mea hōʻike hou e hiki ai ke pani i kēia mea i hoʻokahi manawa a no nā mea āpau.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kēia manawa i ka puke Noche sagrada, ka puke hou na Michael Connelly, ma aneʻi:
