9 Dragons by Michael Connelly

 

Detective Bosch working the murder of a South L.A liquor store owner is thrust into the world of Chinese Triad gangs, something completely new to him,  although he and Mr. Li the store owner and deceased have met once years before.  Determined to find the killer detective Bosch must seek the aid of another detective from the Asian Gangs Unit, but can he be trusted?  Someone on the inside is leaking information, but who?  When Bosch's daughter is kidnapped while living with her mother in Hong Kong, Bosch leaves the LA investigation in others hands.  His daughters life is now foremost.  His ex-wife Eleanor is killed while helping in the search.    What could possibly happen next to add on to Bosch's guilt and the complications of investigating a triad?

I love reading Michael Connelly mysteries and this one is fabulous.  I learn so much from reading his books because he really does his research and includes facts I might not normally come across.  Nine Dragons is a fantastic thriller you'll love reading.  Even though detective Bosch's methods may not all be above board, you will still love the guy.  You'll want to pick up a copy of this one to read during these cold winter days and add a bit of excitement.

Under and Over The Weather

The temperature is freezing, it's snowing once again outside and I am a bit under the weather today. I forgot to take my vitamins for a couple days and now I am sniffling and sneezing. All I want to do is crawl inside my bed with the electric blanket and sleep. Although my body could probably use the rest, I just can't make myself do it.

I am so over this Winter Weather! I want Spring to come tomorrow. I blame Puxatony Phil for another six weeks of this stuff to come. I'm ready to plant Black Tartarian Cherry Tree Five Gallon,3 Fruit Tree Collection, Apple, Peach, Plum Nice Trees and vegetables in my garden. I'm reading to get my hands dirty in Scotts Hyponex Organic 72408570 8LB Potting Soil for my starters. I need sunshine and warmth. But right now I just need a clear head, so maybe I will crawl under the blankets for a couple hours and just sleep.
