Resurrection Walk by Michael Connelly

 About 40% done.

Lucinda in jail for killing her cop ex-husband.  She pled guilty on advice of Silver her atty, but now wants out.  Bosch investigates for Mickey Haller, Lincoln Lawyer brother, and yes, it is suspicious.  Cop ex-husband was part of police gang.  Did she kill him?  Did his cop buddies kill him for fear he was talking to the FBI about cop gangs? Did a gang kill him?  

Subplot about young boy accused of shooting cop seems "solved."  Cop actually accidentally shot himself, which would end his career.  Blames the kid instead.  Bosch sees discrepancies and the boy is released.  Is this plot over?  . . . seems so. Flying along.  

Bosch getting treatment for his cancer at UCLA.  Maddie visits.  Daddy-Daughter love-in without words.

Spare us.

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 (18...
