New books by bestselling authors Michael Connelly and Robert B. Parker will be available on Tuesday, October 5.
The Reversal, by Michael Connelly, features defense attorney Mickey Haller and Detective Harry Bosch. Haller is recruited to prosecute a high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. Convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he works with LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Bosch and Haller are opposed by Jessup, now out on bail; a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and an eyewitness reluctant to testify. With the odds against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all.
Painted Ladies, by Robert B. Parker, was completed the year before he passed away. In this last Spencer book, Spencer is called upon by The Hammond Museum and art scholar Dr. Ashton Prince to provide protection during a ransom exchange - money for a stolen painting. The case becomes personal when Spenser fails to protect his client and the painting remains stolen. Convinced that Prince was more than just the ransom delivery boy, Spenser enters into a daring game of cat-and-mouse with the thieves.
