Nine Dragons (2009)

From the streets of L.A. to the shimmering skyline of Hong Kong, Harry 
Bosch must find his missing daughter.

Harry Bosch is assigned a homicide call in South L.A. that takes him 
to Fortune Liquors, where the Chinese owner has been shot to death behind 
the counter in a robbery. Joined by members of the department's Asian 
Crime Unit, Bosch relentlessly investigates the killing and soon identifies 
a suspect, a Los Angeles member of a Hong Kong triad.

But before Harry can close in, he gets the word that his young daughter 
Maddie, who lives in Hong Kong with her mother, is missing.

Bosch drops everything to journey across the Pacific to find his daughter. 
Could her disappearance and the case be connected? With the stakes of 
the investigation so high and so personal, Bosch is up against the clock 
in a new city, where nothing is at it seems.

Nine Dragons, the most personal and thrilling Harry Bosch story yet, 
is available now in the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong, Australia 
and New Zealand. The audiobook, Kindle, eBook, and large-print editions 
of Nine Dragons are also available.

Synopsis

LAPD Detective Harry Bosch is off the chain in the fastest, fiercest, 
and highest-stakes case of his life.
Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L.A. neighborhood, 
a store Bosch has known for years. The murder of John Li, the store's 
owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find 
the killer.
The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory. He brings in a 
detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation--not just 
of languages but also of the cultural norms and expectations that guided 
Li's life. He uncovers a link to a Hong Kong triad, a lethal and far-reaching 
crime ring that follows many immigrants to their new lives in the U.S.-
And instantly his world explodes. The one good thing in Bosch's life, 
the person he holds most dear, is taken from him and Bosch travels to 
Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he's lost. In a place 
known as Nine Dragons, as the city's Hungry Ghosts festival burns around 
him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has 
in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad's ferocity.
Publishers Weekly

Bestseller Connelly nimbly balances Harry Bosch's personal and professional 
lives, both of which take a substantial beating, in his 14th novel to 
feature the LAPD homicide detective. Bosch, last seen with his recently 
discovered half-brother, lawyer Mickey Haller, in The Brass Verdict 
(2008), investigates the shooting death of a liquor store owner. While 
the murder has none of the hallmarks of a regular gang hit, Bosch discovers 
the dead man was paying a weekly protection fee to a man Bosch suspects 
is part of a Chinese triad. Even though Bosch is warned to drop the 
case, he doesn't take the threat seriously until he receives a video 
showing his 13-year-old daughter, Madeline, being kidnapped in Hong 
Kong, where she lives with her mother and Bosch's ex-wife, a former 
FBI agent. Bosch flies to Hong Kong to try to rescue Madeline, prepared 
to face down one of the world's most powerful crime syndicates. Tenacious 
as ever, Bosch is even more formidable in his role as a protective father.
