Harry Bosch, exiled from the LAPD, is working cold cases for the San Fernando Police Department when all hands are called out to a local drugstore, where two pharmacists have been murdered in a robbery. Bosch and the tiny town's three-person detective squad sift through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big-business world of prescription drug abuse. To get to the people at the top, Bosch must risk everything and go undercover in the shadowy world of organized pill mills.
Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch's days with the LAPD comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him and seems to have new evidence to prove it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his former colleagues are not keen on protecting his reputation. But if this conviction is overturned, every case Bosch ever worked will be called into question. As usual, he must fend for himself as he tries to clear his name and keep a clever killer in prison.
The two cases wind around each other like strands of barbed wire. Along the way, Bosch discovers that there are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness.
Tense, fast-paced, and fueled by this legendary detective's unrelenting sense of mission, Two Kinds of Truth is proof positive that "Connelly writes cops better than anyone else in the business" (New York Post).
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“One of Connelly’s darkest and most powerful stories yet about Bosch.” —Tampa Bay Times
“Narrator Titus Welliver portrays Detective Harry Bosch…In a gravelly and sometimes growling voice, Welliver lets Bosch’s indignation shine when the facts are revealed and takes on a softer and loving tone when Bosch deals with friends and family. Fans will love the climax and the promise of more Harry Bosch and, one hopes, more Welliver. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“Connelly is one of the few authors who can use the idea of truthiness as a springboard for a gripping thriller about corruption, opioids, politics, and the minutiae of a police investigation…It’s become an annual refrain—but Connelly truly is one of the finest mystery writers.” —Sun Sentinel (Florida)
“Expertly juggling both plots, Connelly mines the double murder for fascinating and frightening details.” —Booklist

bringing procedural intricacies to life now seem as strong as ever...he writes
the best detective novels around. —Charles Finch, USA Today

One
of Connelly's darkest and most powerful stories yet about Bosch. —Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
The best crime fiction writer alive today...The interaction between the trash-talking, playful

Expertly juggling both plots, Connelly mines the double murder for fascinating and frightening details...Connelly remains atop a heap of contemporary crime writers thanks to his rare ability to combine master plotting and procedural detail with a literary novelist's feel for the inner lives of his or her characters.

full potential of [Bosch and Ballard] fully realized. Anyone interested in
