In his first case since he left the LAPD’s Open Unsolved Unit for the prestigious Homicide Special squad, Harry Bosch is called out to investigate a murder that may have chilling consequences for national security. A doctor with access to a dangerous radioactive substance is found murdered in the trunk of his car. Retracing his steps, Harry learns that a large quantity of radioactive cesium was stolen shortly before the doctor’s death. With the cesium in unknown hands, Harry fears the murder could be part of a terrorist plot to poison a major American city.Soon, Bosch is in a race against time, not only against the culprits, but also against the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI (in the form of Harry’s one-time lover Rachel Walling), who are convinced that this case is too important for the likes of the LAPD. It is Bosch’s job to prove all of them wrong.
The Stretch – Stephen Leather – Paperback Preloved
R35,00As a big player in the 90s London underworld, Terry Greene has always made a priority of ‘taking care of business’ personally. Preston Snow was out of line. So the up-close-and-personal visit was in no way out of character. It was a messy hit. But the job was done. More messy however, was the aftermath. Fingered by one of his own crew, Terry finds himself taking the fall and is put away for life. The only person he can trust in the entire world is his estranged wife, Sam. She must now take over the reins of his organisation, find the snitch and – in theory – get Terry off the hook. But after a shaky start, she quickly starts to get her own ideas . . .***********PRAISE FOR STEPHEN LEATHER‘A master of the thriller genre’ Irish Times ‘As tough as British thrillers get . . . gripping’ Irish Independent ‘The sheer impetus of his story-telling is damned hard to resist’ Sunday Express
