The Wrong Side of Goodbye, Connelly - B +

                                                The author, who is now 60 and Harry, who is old enough to have fought in Vietnam (but I can't quite piece together how late in that war), both get better with age. Harry is completely finished with the LAPD, doing some P.I. work, and a volunteer reserve officer with a small LA area jurisdiction police department. He winds up working a very interesting private case involving a missing heir as well as a tough case for the San Fernando PD. His insights save the day, and more importantly, Connelly's skills now tell great stories without some of the frightening background that was featured in the earlier books. Connelly worked the police beat for the L.A. Times and paints an always sublime picture of the city.
