DARK HOURS
A brazen and methodical killer strikes on New Year’s Eve and LAPD Detective Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch must join forces to find justice for the victim in a city scarred by fear and social unrest, in the new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly.
THE OVERLOOK
In his first case since he left the LAPD’s Open Unsolved Unit for the prestigious Homicide Special squad, Harry Bosch is called out to investigate a murder that may have chilling consequences for national security. A doctor with access to a dangerous radioactive substance is found murdered on the overlook above the Mulholland Dam. Retracing his steps, Harry learns that a large quantity of radioactive cesium was stolen shortly before the doctor’s death. With the cesium in unknown hands, Harry fears the murder could be part of a terrorist plot to poison a major American city.
LOST LIGHT
When he left the LAPD Bosch took a file with him— the case of a film production assistant murdered four years earlier during a $2 million robbery on a movie set. The LAPD — now operating under post 9/11 rules — think the stolen money was used to finance a terrorist training camp. Thoughts of the original murder victim are lost in the federal zeal, and when it seems the killer will be set free to aid the feds’ terrorist hunt, Bosch quickly finds himself in conflict with both his old colleagues and the FBI. He cannot rest until he finds the killer — with or without a badge.
CHASING THE DIME
Henry Pierce has a whole new life — new apartment, new telephone, new telephone number. But the first time he checks his messages, he discovers that someone had the number before him. The messages on his line are for a woman named Lilly, and she is in some kind of serious trouble. Pierce is inexorably drawn into Lilly’s world, and it’s unlike any world he’s ever known. It is a nighttime world of escort services, websites, sex, and secret identities. Pierce tumbles through a hole, abandoning his orderly life in a frantic race to save the life of a woman he has never met.
On this day in 1924, the "Happy Birthday" song was first published in a songbook. Can you even imagine how lame birthday parties were before this banger dropped? They must have been terrible!
Sisters Patty and Mildred Hill crafted the catchy melody, originally titled "Good Morning to All," for the children in Patty's kindergarten class. However, the genius who penned the birthday-specific lyrics remains unknown.
Perhaps this treasure was a collaborative effort, like Drake's "One Dance," which had a whole eight writers credited. Talk about a team effort!
Or maybe "Happy Birthday" was the work of a lone birthday enthusiast who wanted to leave their mark on birthdays forever.
