      Fortunato è colui che trova rifugio in se stesso, una massima che il detective Harry Bosch ha fatto sua, ispirata dall'uomo ora giacente sul pavimento di un emporio di liquori a Los Angeles. John Li, un commerciante cinese immigrato, viene ucciso con tre colpi al petto prima di poter afferrare la pistola per difendersi. Inizialmente sembra una rapina finita male, ma esaminando le registrazioni delle telecamere, Bosch nota uno strano scambio di denaro tra Li e un giovane asiatico, che sembra indicare una tangente. Il ragazzo diventa il principale sospettato e l'ombra della Triade, la potente mafia cinese, si fa strada nel caso. Tuttavia, Bosch preferirebbe che le sue ipotesi non si avverassero. Un video ricevuto da sua figlia tredicenne, legata e imbavagliata, lo colpisce profondamente. Qualcuno a Hong Kong, dove Maddie vive con la madre, gli manda un avvertimento, colpendo il suo punto più vulnerabile. Bosch sapeva che prima o poi le forze oscure con cui combatte avrebbero trovato un modo per colpirlo attraverso di lei. Quel momento è finalmente arrivato.

      When Mickey Haller is invited by the Los Angeles County District Attorney to prosecute a case for him, he knows something strange is going on. Mickey's a defence lawyer, one of the best in the business, and to switch sides like this would be akin to asking a fox to guard the hen-house. But the high-profile case of Jason Jessup, a convicted child-killer who spent almost 25 years on death row before DNA evidence freed him, is an intriguing one... Eager for the publicity and drawn to the challenge, Mickey takes the case, with Detective Harry Bosch on board as his lead investigator. But as a new trial date is set, it starts to look like he's been set up. Mickey and Harry are going to have to dig deep into the past and find the truth about what really happened to the victim all those years ago.

      A great novel from one of America's finest literary crime writers... They never found the killer. All they knew, back in the winter of 1985, was that someone was taking teenagers, killing them and leaving their abused bodies in public parks. Three victims in all, with no link between them except a oddity of their names. They read the same back-to-front - Otto, Ava and lastly Eve. A lot has happened in the twenty years since. Detectives Gus Ramone and Dan Holiday - two of the leads on the case - have pursued very different paths. Gus has climbed to the heights of Detective Sergeant and built himself a reputation as a very good cop, whilst Dan has been drummed out of the force - his sleaze finally getting too much for his superiors. However, their paths are about to cross again. A boy named Asa - a close friend of Gus's teenage son - has been found in the public park, his skull shattered by gunfire. Now it seems that both men are once again in the path of this disturbed serial killer. THE NIGHT GARDENER is George Pelecanos's stunning crime thriller - the story of two very different men united by the maliciousness of a deadly attacker.
