This is another serviceable murder mystery. Connelly addresses contemporary issues of oxycontin addiction and homeless and has has Bosch going undercover as an aged pill shill.
He's absolutely right what he says about the homeless at teh Court. I saw it today below the bus parking lot on Van Nuys. They're everywhere. Their camp has grown substantially since hte last time I was there.
Read this one, to get a taste of the times.
