THE LAST COYOTE

On leave for attacking his commanding officer, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch has time on his hands. He decides to spend it on a case that cuts close to his angst-ridden heart, the 30-year-old unsolved murder of his mother. When Harry smells a cover-up, he pushes on. Connelly is at the top of his form in this brilliant mystery. Dick Hill does an outstanding job capturing Bosch's cynicism and anger, confusion and hurt. Hill changes his voice well to portray the other characters, most notably the female police psychiatrist. One gimmick is annoying: the producers switch to a tinny tone whenever a voice on the phone is needed. Still, this is a first-rate production. P.B.J.
