I'm reading Desert Star by Michael Connelly, the 26th Harry Bosch Novel. Bosch is retired now but is still haunted by a case that he was never able to crack -- the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free. He signs on as a volunteer for old friend Renee Ballard's new Open-Unsolved Unit where hopefully he can find answers.
I always enjoy writers who talk about real music in their books and Connelly has just led me to listen to some King Curtis which is really good. Check out his version of Whiter Shade of Pale. I'll be on the lookout for more.

Listening to The Strange Disappearance of a Bollywood Star by Vaseem Khan. Rising star and incorrigible playboy Vikram Verma has disappeared, leaving his latest film in jeopardy. Hired by Verma's formidable mother to find him, Inspector Chopra and his sidekick, baby elephant Ganesha, embark on a journey deep into the world's most flamboyant movie industry. As Chopra has long suspected, in Bollywood the truth is often stranger than fiction.
