The First 9 Words, 9 Winners, 9 Dragons Contest

We've been celebrating the return of LAPD Detective Harry Bosch in Nine Dragons for some time now on this web site. In September, we challenged Michael's readers to do the same. We held a contest and gave away 9 personally inscribed and signed copies of Nine Dragons to the 9 lucky winners who wrote the best 9-word sentence about Harry Bosch. We had almost 2,000 entries. As you can imagine, it was very difficult for Michael to choose only 9 winners. Here they are, in no specific order:

"Hieronymus Bosch depicted monsters, while his namesake pursues them."
—Dan Latter

"
Bosch, the last coyote, never forgets the lost light."
—Steven Braun

"
Harry Bosch ate Chuck Norris for breakfast without milk."
J.C.

"Harry Bosch thinks to himself, 'What a Wonderful World.'"
—Liz and Dave Smith

"
Harry Bosch, ever in the narrows, searching for truth."
—Eddie Spencer

"Like a dark angel, Harry speaks for the dead."
—Carol Carlson

"Harry Bosch has no time for stupid Internet contests."
—Martin Marier

"More darkness than light, Harry Bosch dreams in jazz."
—Nancy Holladay

"Bosch is the cop I want investigating my murder."
—Glenn Kraemer


The Second 9 Words, 9 Winners, 9 Dragons Contest

We held a second "9 Words, 9 Winners, 9 DRAGONS" contest in October, this time specifically about the book. Thousands of people entered our first 9 Words contest about Harry Bosch back in September. This time around, we wanted your best 9-word book review of 9 DRAGONS. And here are the 9 winners.
