The Narrows is the 14th novel by American crime author Michael Connelly, and the tenth featuring the Los Angeles detective Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch. As Bosch crosses paths with FBI Agent Rachel Walling, the novel ties story elements left unresolved in The Poet and those from Blood Work and A Darkness More Than Night together into the Bosch mythos.

[edit] Plot summary

While investigating the death of ex-FBI profiler Terry McCaleb, Bosch begins to suspect that the notorious serial killer The Poet, presumed dead, may be the culprit. Digging deeper, Bosch meets and eventually joins forces with FBI agent Rachel Walling, who went up against The Poet the first time around. The novel shifts points of view, cutting from Bosch's first-person commentary to the third-person perspectives of Walling and The Poet.
