Early in Desert Star, the new Michael Connelly novel, Harry Bosch drives to the Mojave Desert. (As is his custom, Connelly gives us the route markers: “He got up to the 210 freeway and headed east in very light traffic until he reached the 15 and turned northeast. . . .” Strange how these mundane details weave their spell.) Bosch is heading to the desolate site where a family of four, the Gallaghers—father, mother, young son, and daughter—were buried by their murderer nine years before. They’d lived in the San Fernando Valley, but the killer transported their bodies to this remote spot to bury them. A year later, a “Cal State geological expedition studying the nearby salt pan for evidence of climate change” accidentally uncovered the remains.
