Resurrection Walk 80% by MIchael Connelly

Top notch Connelly.  Lucinda trial has many twists.  The dead cop is part of a police gang . . . informant for the FBI . . . fellow cops learn this . . . they're his killers . . . but the main witness can't/won't testify because it would screw up an ongoing FBI investigation.

Artificial intelligence used to recreate murder -- not allowed in court though convincing.

Bosch uses cell phone records to map movements of main suspects

Tense court scenes along the lines of Turow.  Nothing about Bosch's daughter for a long time (YES)

Haller much more interesting.  Talks to reporter . . . You want to do a profile of me?  In judge's chambers:  That's very smart, Judge.  (She stops him on this one.  Don't be obsequious Mickey, it doesn't suit you.)

I've enjoyed the recent Connelly's very much.  He's on a roll.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (1873–1874) and the  Nile Exp
