The murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find the killer. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003eAnd 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Connelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.30w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316166317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e133986 \/ Nine Dragons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2009 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2009 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2009 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2009 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/12\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 78 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Annex\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Connelly\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of forty previous novels, among them \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eNightshade, The Waiting, \u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Resurrection Walk.\u003c\/i\u003e His books, which include the Harry Bosch series, the Lincoln Lawyer series, and the Renée Ballard series, have sold more than eighty-nine million copies worldwide.
