The Burning Room, Connelly - B +

                                               This is the 21st book in the Harry Bosch series. What can you say?  Harry gets better with age. Connelly is a master. I believe this series is recognized nationally as one of the best out there. The fact that this was published on  Monday, Nov. 3rd points to it as a significant reason for the very recent settlement between Amazon and the Hachette Group.  Harry is teamed with a young Mexican-American woman who has recently been assigned to the cold case unit. They are assigned a murder case where the victim just died, even though he was shot ten years ago. Lucy wrangles the addition of a twenty-one year old arson/murder/robbery on to their plate and they solve the two cases concurrently. There is the usual wonderful background information on the City of Angels and its geography. The only unsettling thing is that Harry is very, very close to the end of the line with the LAPD. It's going to take some creativity to keep this going
