“Connelly has another great series on his hands with his Catalina novels. Everything fans expect, Connelly delivers. The mysteries are intriguing, the pace is relentless, and Stilwell is a captivating character. Adding Ballard makes a great book stellar.”

LA County Sheriff’s Detective Stilwell has been “exiled” to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found wrapped in plastic and weighed down at the bottom of the harbor. This is the first book in a new series. Ironwood, coming out on May 19, is book 2 in the Catalina series.

Benjamin Bratt and Ever Carradine join the cast for season 2.

Retired LAPD detective Harry Bosch delves into the darkest chapter of his past.
When Harry Bosch was eleven years old, his mother was murdered and he became a ward of the state, housed in MacLaren Children’s Center, a notorious facility where abuse was rampant. Decades after its closure, a massive class action lawsuit has resulted in a multibillion-dollar settlement for former residents. But when Bosch’s half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, brings him word that Harry is entitled to $400,000, Bosch says he doesn’t want the money. He wants justice.

Sworn to protect a scenic island meant to be far from the evils of the mainland, Detective Sergeant Stilwell can feel danger closing in.
