I'm not sure what dragons have to do with this book, except that it involves the Chinese community of LA and a visit to Hong Kong. Harry Bosch, the star of many of Connelly's books, is called to investigate the murder of a Chinese owner of a liquor store. Small pieces of information leads him to a Hong Kong triad where he focuses the investigation. An arrest is made when Harry receives a text from Hong Kong showing his thirteen-year-old daughter has been taken captive. He travels immediately to rescue her and creates a swath of violence as he narrows down her location and finally is able to retrieve her and bring her back to the United States. By the time he gets back to LA, the suspect has been released because of lack of evidence, but Harry continues to work the case. There is a big twist at this point, which I'm not going to go into because I don't want to spoil the story. While there was some interesting elements to this story, I found it a bit disappointing. Maybe it just took me so long to read it because of other things going on in my life, that I just lost interest. Come to think of it, I believe the triad had Dragon as part of its title. At least I cleared that part up for myself. Anyway, it was just okay for me. Rating: 3.75
