Michael Connelly: The Reversal

“I gotta go.”

He continued on to his car. It was parked next to my Lincoln. I called after him.

“Let me know, okay?”

He looked back at me when he got to his car.

“Yeah,” he said. “I will.”

He then dropped into the car and I heard it roar to life. Bosch drove like he walked, pulling out quickly and throwing dust and gravel into the air. A man on a mission. I got in the Lincoln and followed him out of the park and up to Mulholland Drive. After that, I lost him on the curving road ahead.
