Gianni Montanari Book order (chronological)

Four years ago, Harry Bosch shot notorious serial killer the 'Dollmaker'. Now the case has come back to haunt him . . . From the bestselling author of The Lincoln Lawyer and The Gods of Guilt.

Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But his first case is a little more than he bargained for. It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what looks like "trunk music," a Mafia hit. But the LAPD's organized crime unit is curiously uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail of gambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex - and much more personal. A rekindled romance with an old girlfriend opens new perspectives on the murder, and he begins to glimpse a shocking triangle of corruption and collusion. Yanked off the case, Harry himself is soon the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harry when he's searching for the truth . . .

Hours after Priscilla Eads pleads with him to take her case, Nero Wolfe is shocked to find out that she was murdered, and soon he is investigating her fortune-hunting husband and greedy business associates.

Harry Bosch finds himself yet again in charge of a case that no one else will touch... This time his job is to nail the killer of hot shot black lawyer Howard Elias. Elias has been found murdered on the eve of going to court on behalf of Michael Harris, a man the LAPD believes guilty of the rape and murder of a twelve-year-old girl. Elias had let it be known that the aim of his civil case was not only to reveal the real killer but to target and bring down the racist cops who beat up his client during a violent interrogation. Now it's all down to Bosch - and he's got to take a long, hard look at some of his colleagues in a police department that is rife with suspicion and hatred.

Lo chiamavano il Fabbricante di bambole: sceglieva le sue vittime nei quartieri malfamati di Los Angeles, le strangolava e le truccava come fossero bambole sorridenti. Per un anno intero la Polizia gli aveva dato la caccia e, alla fine, il detective Harry Bosch se l'era trovato di fronte. L'uomo, colto alla sprovvista, aveva ignorato ogni avvertimento e Bosch lo aveva ucciso. Quattro anni dopo, seduto al banco degli imputati, il detective si trova ad affrontare il processo per omicidio intentatogli dalla vedova. Ma quando, inaspettatamente, viene rinvenuto il cadavere di una bionda sepolta in una colata di cemento e truccata come le undici vittime del Fabbricante di bambole, Bosch inizia a chiedersi se l'uomo che ha ucciso fosse veramente colpevole. In un alternarsi di colpi di scena, tra l'aula del tribunale e gli uffici della Polizia di Los Angeles, Connelly riesce ancora una volta a trascinare il lettore verso un inatteso, folgorante epilogo.

Thanks to a heart transplant, former FBI agent Terrell McCaleb is enjoying a quiet retirement, renovating the fishing boat he lives on in Los Angeles Harbor. But McCaleb's calm seas turn choppy when a story in the "What Happened To?" column of the LA Times brings him face-to-face with the sister of the woman whose heart now beats in his chest. From her, McCaleb learns a terrible truth: that the donor of his heart was not killed in an accident, as he'd been told, but was murdered. Wracked with guilt over the fact that he's alive because another human being was killed, McCaleb embarks on a private investigation of his donor's murder - a crime as horrific as anything he ever encountered as a serial killer investigator for the FBI.
