More of wot I have read…

Chasing the Dime by Michael Connelly

I have read a couple of other books by this author with a detective called Harry Bosch in them. This has a different protagonist but is a similar gritty style to it. What is surprising is that in the short time since it was released (2002) just how old fashioned it seems now as technology moves ever onward.


‘Henry Pierce has just moved in to a new apartment but the first time he checks his phone messages he discovers that someone had the number before him. The messages are for a woman named Lilly – and she is in some kind of serious trouble.

Pierce is inexorably drawn into Lilly’s world, a night-time world of escort services, websites, sex and secret identities. Every step Pierce takes leads him to abandon his own orderly life in a frantic race to save the life of a woman he has never met, as he is faced with a decision that could cost him everything.’
