A brilliant thriller to rival CJ SANSOM and RORY CLEMENTSIn 14th-century Italy, Mondino is a university anatomist - a man of science in a land governed by the brutal Inquisition.

Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, he is inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to weed through the letters, knowing most claims will be false. Bosch pulls a needle from the haystack: a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff’s deputy, but who still maintains her innocence. Bosch reviews the case and sees elements that don’t add up, and a sheriff’s department intent on bringing quick justice in the killing of one of its own. Now Haller has an uphill battle in court, a David fighting Goliaths to vindicate his client. The path for both lawyer and investigator is fraught with danger from those who don’t want the case reopened and will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from finding the truth.

Denny Malone voleva solo essere un bravo poliziotto. Era il re della Manhattan North Special Force. L’unità che imperversava sulle strade di Harlem come un vento impetuoso spazzando via ogni immondizia. Ma ora che Malone è finito in galera, quel vento non soffia più. Per diciotto anni Malone e i suoi erano stati in prima linea, per strada, e avevano fatto tutto il necessario per proteggere una città che si nutre di ambizione e corruzione, dove di pulito non c’è più nessuno. Compreso Malone stesso. Ad Harlem era diventato una specie di intoccabile, che sapeva in quali armadi erano nascosti gli scheletri. Perché molti li aveva nascosti lui. All’improvviso però «la sua città, la sua zolla, il suo cuore» gli si sono rivoltati contro. E ora che è stato incastrato dai federali non gli resta che decidere chi sia meglio tradire.

Bologna soll brennen … Bologna im Herbst 1312: Mondino de‘ Liuzzi, Medicus und Anatom, wird vom Bürgermeister mit der Aufklärung eines seltsamen Todesfalls beauftragt: Ein Mitglied des Ältestenrats wurde völlig verkohlt in seinem Haus gefunden. Doch im Zimmer, in dem sich die Leiche befindet, deutet nichts auf einen Brand hin. Mondino bringt die sterblichen Überreste in seinen Sezierraum, um sie zu untersuchen. An einem Arm des Toten entdeckt er eine Tätowierung: ein Monster mit Flügeln und einem Löwenkopf, dessen Körper von einer Schlange umringt wird. Wenig später wird ein Franziskanermönch im Bordellviertel tot aufgefunden. In seiner Tasche findet man eine Zeichnung, die der Tätowierung auf dem Arm der ersten Leiche sehr ähnelt. Gemeinsam mit dem ehemaligen Templer Gerardo del Castelbretone kommt Mondino einer Sekte auf die Spur, die dem Gott der Sonne und des Feuers Mithra huldigt – und die eine ungeheuerliche Verschwörung plant …

In this gripping thriller, Detective Harry Bosch and his rookie partner, Detective Lucia Soto, delve into a cold case that quickly heats up. The LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit rarely sees murder victims who die long after their crimes, but when a man dies from complications related to a stray bullet wound sustained a decade earlier, Bosch finds himself with a perplexing case. The body may be fresh, but the clues are scarce, posing a challenge even for an experienced detective. Soto, eager yet inexperienced, has been paired with Bosch to learn from his expertise. Their investigation uncovers a politically sensitive murder linked to the bullet lodged in the victim's spine, revealing that the shooting was far from random. As they dig deeper, they stumble upon another unsolved case involving the tragic deaths of several children in a fire from twenty years prior. As their pursuit of the truth intensifies, Bosch and Soto face the dilemma of risking careers and lives to uncover secrets that some would prefer to keep buried. In a fast-paced narrative, Michael Connelly once again demonstrates why Harry Bosch remains a beloved figure in American crime fiction.
