LAPD Detective Harry Bosch is off the chain in the fastest, fiercest, and highest-stakes case of his life. Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L.A. neighborhood, a store Bosch has known for years. The murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find the killer. The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory. He brings in a detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation--not just of languages but also of the cultural norms and expectations that guided Li's life. He uncovers a link to a Hong Kong triad, a lethal and far-reaching crime ring that follows many immigrants to their new lives in the U.S. And instantly his world explodes. The one good thing in Bosch's life, the person he holds most dear, is taken from him and Bosch travels to Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he's lost. In a place known as Nine Dragons, as the city's Hungry Ghosts festival burns around him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad's ferocity. Featuring ebook bonus materials including an in-depth interview with the author about writing "Nine Dragons," photos from his exciting travels while writing the book, and a link to an online promotional video.

Bosch remembers the owner of Fortune Liquor,John Li & vows to find his killer. Was it a shoplifter he threatened? He was paying protection, was it the triad? He enlists the help of the Asian Gang Unit , but he doesn‘t know them or know who to trust.When it looks like leads go to Hong Kong, Boschs investigation goes wider than it ever has gone before . Many gasp worthy moments in this one!

While investigating a murder, Harry gets a video from his daughter showing that she‘s been kidnapped in Hong Kong. It appears that the murder and the kidnapping are related, and connected to a Hong Kong gang called The Triad. It‘s all a thrill ride after that!

It's an admittedly convoluted story, and since I started reading out of order, I knew some of what was going to happen, but I enjoyed this novel. The ending is weak, but it ties up some things and sets the stage for others, so it works, in a way. Plus it's always delightfully quaint the way state-of-the-art-at-the-time tech is described. The novel also re-confirmed my desire to fly first class next time I travel internationally.

What starts as a murder investigation in LA morphs into a very personal, high-stakes rescue mission in Hong Kong. There was a lot going on, and overall the book serves to further the backstory on Bosch's personal life, but certain plot points with big ramifications felt too rushed. 3.5⭐️

Book #14 in the Harry Bosch series. This one takes a turn for the personal as Harry is trying to find his abducted daughter in Hong Kong. After the last one not being very personal, this one is probably delves into Harry‘s personal life the most.

I feel like it‘s been forever since I last listened to a book in the Bosch series! This audio performance isn‘t my favorite- the women‘s voices are particularly cringeworthy!- but, I have to say that the exciting storyline makes it easier to overlook that! This starts as a “simple” convenience store shooting and ends up taking Bosch all the way to Hong Kong! I really can‘t wait to see what‘s next in this great series!! #AudioColoring

Sometimes I wonder why I keep listening to these. I am just not loving this one at all and I really do not care for the narrator. Not the best of the Harry Bosch series.

Another great novel from Michael Connelly. This time Harry Bosch finds himself caught up in an investigation of what seems to be a murder by the Triads, and it becomes intensely personal.

Enjoying this instalment of the Harry Bosch chronicles as much as all of its predecessors. The coffee was great too, hence its rapid disappearance. #michaelconnelly #ninedragons #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #crimefiction #americancrimefiction #harrybosch #fiction #currentlyreading

Harry is called out when an older Asian man is slain in his liquor store. Twins out this may offered him refuge during race riots. Looks like the man might have been killed by the Asian gangs. For this one, Harry will have to travel far to protect those close to him. But even Harry can't save everyone.

Wow! I just thought all the other Harry Bosch books were good. This one blew them all out of the water!!

Darthdad I'm watching the tv series on Amazon prime and it has me very interested in reading the books. Interesting character 8y
Lexeegee Titus Welliver is perfect as Harry Bosch. I can't see anyone else playing him. 8y
melrailey I agree about Welliver. He was born for the role. And I agree that this particular book was awesome. 7y
