The 'best crime writer in the world' (GQ) delivers a blistering tale about a cynical defence attorney whose one remaining spark of integrity may cost him his life.

The Lincoln Lawyer

Grand avocat de la défense, Mickey Haller est bien surpris lorsque le procureur du comté de Los Angeles le prie un jour de plaider pour l'accusation. Et l'affaire n'est pas des moindres. Incarcéré depuis vingt-quatre ans pour le meurtre d'une fillette, Jason Jessup vient d'être libéré sous caution, le tribunal ayant conclu à la nécessité d'une révision de son procès suite à un test ADN qui semble l'innocenter. Haller est sûr que Jessup est coupable et prend Harry Bosch comme enquêteur et son ex-épouse, Maggie McPherson, comme assistante. En face de lui, l'avocat Clive Royce, dit « l'astucieux », et des médias tout excités par ce procès : quoi de plus sensationnel qu'un tueur innocenté par son ADN ? À ceci près que Jason Jessup, qui parade devant les médias le jour, se livre à d'étranges activités la nuitn.

Volte-face

Terry McCaleb, the retired FBI agent who starred in the bestseller "Blood Work," is asked by the LAPD to help them investigate aseries of murders that have them baffled. They are the kind of ritualized killings McCaleb specialized in solving with the FBI, and he is reluctantly drawn from his peaceful new life back into the horror and excitement of tracking down a terrifying homicidal maniac. More horrifying still, the suspect who seems to fit the profile that McCaleb develops is someone he has known and worked with in the past: LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch.

L'oiseau des ténèbres

Contrainte de passer à l'action pour protéger le secret qui la déchire, Cassie Black, une ancienne détenue maintenant en liberté conditionnelle, décide de cambrioler la suite d'un grand flambeur du casino Cleopatra, à Las Vegas. Caméras de surveillance partout, gardes armés, coffres-forts blindés, etc., la sécurité est sans faille et dirigée par un certain Karch, individu particulièrement sadique et retors dans sa façon de penser. S'attaquer à lui, c'est courir à la mort, mais c'est le risque que doit prendre Cassie si elle veut réussir. Et ce n'est rien en comparaison de ce qui se passe lorsqu'on comprend que l'enjeu est mille fois plus énorme que ce à quoi on s'attendait au début de l'affaire. Car, bien sûr, dans l'énorme partie qui se joue, toutes les cartes sont biaisées.

La lune était noire

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.

À genoux (Harry Bosch)

Detective Harry Bosch is back with the LAPD with the sole mission of closing unsolved cases. The murder of a 16 year old girl in 1988 is his first file. A DNA match makes the case very much alive again, and it turns out to be anything but cold. The ripples from this death have destroyed at least two other lives, and everywhere he probes, Bosch finds hot grief, hot rage, and a bottomless well of betrayal and malice.In Los Angeles in 1988, a sixteen-year-old girl disappeared from her home and was later found dead of a gunshot wound to the chest. The death appeared at first to be a suicide - but some of the evidence contradicted that scenario, and detectives came to believe this was in fact a murder. Despite a by-the-book investigation, no one was ever charged.Now Detective Harry Bosch is back with the LAPD with the sole mission of closing unsolved cases, and this girl's death is the first he's given. A DNA match makes the case very much alive again, and it turns out to be anything but cold. The ripples from this death have destroyed at least two other lives, and everywhere he probes, Bosch finds hot grief, hot rage, and a bottomless well of betrayal and malice. And it's not just the girl's family and friends whose lives Bosch is stirring up afresh. With each new development, Harry Bosch finds increasing resistance from within the police force itself. Old enemies are close at hand. Even as he pushes relentlessly to find the truth, Bosch has to wonder if this assignment was intended to be his last. Digging up the past may heal old wounds-or it may expose new, searing ones. From the mind of the man GQ has called "the best mystery writer in the world," The Closers is a masterpiece of thriller writing that is as sharp and immediate as the greatest fiction. Also available as a Time Warner AudioBook, eBook and Large Print Edition.

TRUNK MUSIC

Le corps du Dr Stanley Kent vient d'être retrouvé au belvédère naturel proche de Mulholland Drive : deux balles dans la nuque, style exécution. Nouvellement affecté à la section Homicide Special, l'inspecteur Harry Bosch découvre vite que le Dr Kent avait accès à des matières radioactives utilisées dans le traitement de certains cancers féminins... et que ces matières ont disparu. Aux yeux de l'agent spécial du FBI Rachel Walling, que Bosch aime encore malgré leur rupture après le fiasco d'Echo Park, ce meurtre et cette disparition risquent fort de marquer le début d'un attentat terroriste à la bombe sale. Donc conflit ouvert et cette fois, Bosch n'est pas sûr d'avoir le dessus : il y a certes de la parano dans les services de la sécurité du territoire, mais la menace islamiste est bien réelle...

À genoux

L'ex-agent du FBI Terry McCaleb est à peine remis d'une greffe du coeur quand une inconnue, Graciela Rivers, vient le voir sur le bateau où il se repose et le somme d'enquêter sur la mort d'une certaine Gloria Torres, abattue à bout portant et de sang froid par un tueur masqué, dans une épicerie de la banlieue de Los Angeles. Agacé par l'aplomb de la jeune femme, McCaleb refuse. Mais Graciela insiste et se trouble. Elle lui révèle soudain que Gloria Torres n'est autre que sa propre soeur, et que c'est son coeur qui bat sous l'énorme cicatrice qu'il a encore en travers de la poitrine : cette enquête, Terry McCaleb la lui doit.
