As ever, he displays his great versatility. These stories are completely different from each other, yet each display his trademarks of direct, effective prose, believable characters and plots that work on all levels. He also sucks the reader in from the very first word. Connelly is as good at short stories as he is at novels. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Trois nouvelles inedites Suivies d'un extrait de Les Dieux du verdict, le nouveau roman avec Mickey Haller a paraitre en octobre 2015. Trois nouvelles (De meche, Mulholland, vue plongeante et Coup double) pour nous dire la noirceur de l'ame humaine et ses consequences. Un veritable tour de force. D'un tripot clandestin ou il s'agit de plumer l'adversaire aux cartes sans se faire prendre (De meche) a un stade de base-ball ou se joue la tragedie d'un flic qui adorait son fils (Coup double) en passant par Mulholland Drive, ou un enqueteur specialise dans les accidents de voiture entend faire la lumiere sur ce qui a bien pu arriver dans un des tournants les plus serres et spectaculaires de cette route de montagne d'ou l'on voit les deux versants de Los Angeles, Michael Connelly nous fait passer des profondeurs memes de l'hypocrisie, du calcul et du faux semblant a la lumiere qui, pour lui, n'en fait pas moins elle aussi partie de ce qui constitue et l'individu et la Cite des Anges, ou chacun tente de vivre et de subsister par tous les moyens, nobles et moins nobles.Dans ce nouveau triptyque se devoile en effet peu a peu un desir de reussir dans une ville impitoyable - parfois meme seulement d'y survivre - qui conduit aussi bien a la fourberie qu'a des situations tellement invraisemblables que le rire ou les larmes ne sont jamais bien loin.

The read begins with “Cahoots” where clearly the poker game is rigged. McMillan is in a pork pie hat and has a braying laugh that he should die for just on its own. The cheating makes it worse. The narrator is getting very fed up with the laugh, the attitude, and the cheating. The narrator has a life philosophy where he believes in always taking back far more than what has been taken from him.
Next up is the story that inspires the collection title, “Mulholland Dive.” Detective Clewiston has been sent out to an accident scene on the legendary road. He is an expert in reconstructing a car crash. This is a special case with a lot of riding on what he determines led to the fatal plunge for the driver of a very expensive car.
Eugene Vachon just got out of prison and is about to arrive at the McDonald’s just a block from the bus depot. Detectives Stilwell and Harvick are set up on the place and waiting for him. It is Harwick’s first day in the Gang Intelligence Unit and Stilwell is the veteran providing leadership and experience. Word is Vachon is about to do something as a thank you of sorts for the protection he got in prison and they are there to stop it.
The three tales in Mulholland Dive: Three Stories are all good ones. Sadly, there is no sign of Bosch, or his brother, Haller, in these stories. The previously published tales in a variety of markets are all good ones. The reader is left to wonder if the final story, a contemporary piece, might have led to a follow up tale or novel featuring the characters as there seems to be a lot of potential there for a sequel.
