{"product_id":"nine-dragons-9780316166317","title":"Nine Dragons","description":"After what seems like a routine murder investigation, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch finds himself in Hong Kong facing the highest-stakes case of his life: bringing his kidnapped daughter home. \u003cbr\u003eFortune 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. \u003cbr\u003eThe 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. \u003cbr\u003eAnd 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316166317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.30w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2009 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2009 pg. 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2009 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2009 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/12\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 78 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Annex\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e133986 \/ Nine Dragons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michael Connelly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403348897973,"sku":"9780316166317","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2b867bad-0912-48dd-99a5-fac2bd40223e.jpg?v=1774968879","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nine-dragons-9780316166317","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
