The Crossing: by Michael Connelly | Summary & Analysis
Book*Sense - 2015

Presenting a view of the police from one who has been among their number and finds himself unhappily and uneasily outside it, the novel is sure to please Connelly’s long-time readers, even as it welcomes new ones into the series. The novel offers readers a thrilling, engaging tale of a man coming to terms with a new life and reassessing the one left behind. It points up problems that have yet to be addressed, as well, and in so doing does what the best literatures do: expose the flaws in human nature and offer hope that they can be addressed. Connelly follows Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch as, several months into a forced retirement, he is brought into the work of his half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller. Despite the antipathy between his former profession and Haller’s, Bosch finds himself doggedly working to uncover the truth behind the killing of Alexandra Parks, a killing Haller’s client stands ultimately wrongly accused of committing. That truth exposes ongoing corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department, and Bosch’s efforts manage to put a stop to one iteration of that corruption, exonerating a wrongly accused man and giving Bosch cause to question his former professional pursuits.
