The Closers | Michael Connelly

"Maybe they knew what was coming, that the city was going to burn. Rodney King wasn't the gasoline. He was only the match. Things have been building and maybe the powers that looked at this case and said for the public good, we have to go the other way. They sacrificed justice for Rebecca Verloren."

Pickpick

The writing style and metaphorical language is phenomenal in this book, it flows despite the seemingly overdone description. The romantic tone that is created by Yapa mirrors the sentiment of the characters. Yapa strives to answer big questions related to the 1990 Battle of Seattle, questions that do not have answers. Why does brutality occur? Who are the victims and perpetrators, and why do these events occur?
