3. "The Crossing" by Michael Connelly

It is so good. In other novels Connelly would make mention of the tension between the half-brothers, LAPD detective Harry Bosch and defense attorney Michael Haller. I never really thought about it, but it makes sense that the cops would view defense lawyers as the enemy. This book like every Connelly novel I've read is excellent, great characters, plots and twists and themes.

I've noticed that some of the best I've read will have a running sub line or plots of the personal lives of the characters. That makes it more real to me.
