''Two Kinds of Truth'' is a 2017 novel by Creator/MichaelConnelly, featuring his regular protagonist, Literature/HarryBosch. It is the 20th novel in the Harry Bosch series.
Harry Bosch, now 67 years old, is still working as a part-time investigator at the tiny little San Fernando, CA police department. Bosch is looking over a 15-year-old cold case, the disappearance of young mother Esme Tavares, when he receives a visit from his old partner Lucia Soto and deputy DA Alex Kennedy. They inform Harry that the DA's office has re-opened an old murder case, the Preston Borders investigation. Back in 1988 Harry helped put away Borders for murder. The only problem is that a recent DNA test has revealed DNA on the victim's clothing that matches another man, serial rapist Lucas Olmer, who is now dead. Bosch faces the prospect of professional humiliation and, worse, vulnerability to a lawsuit if he can't prove that Borders really is guilty.
Meanwhile, Harry gets called out to a double murder at a San Fernando pharmacy. Jose Esquivela Senior and Junior, father-and-son pharmacists, were both shot to death at their place of business. Bosch's investigation leads to a criminal conspiracy involving "pill mills" that process fake prescriptions for opioids, and the organized crime rings that make millions selling the pills to addicts. Bosch must go on a dangerous undercover mission to find the truth while at the same time clearing his name in the Preston Borders affair.

* TheBusCameBack: Jerry Edgar, Bosch's partner for the first several novels in the series, makes his first appearance in a Connelly novel since ''Literature/TheOverlook'' in 2007. Edgar has come back into law enforcement, and now works for the Medical Board of California, and helps Bosch learn about the illegal trafficking of prescription opiods.

** Jose Esquivela Jr. took a gunshot wound to the rectum. Harry reflects that he'd seen that before "in prior cases." This is a reference to ''Literature/AngelsFlight'' and ''Literature/LostLight'', both of which featured the killer shooting his victim in the rectum as a means of delivering a very personal message.
** Bosch remembers that the last time he heard from Jerry Edgar was when he received Edgar's condolences for the death of Bosch's ex-wife. That happened in ''Literature/NineDragons''.
** Vibiana Veracruz, whom Harry Bosch made very rich with the investigation that forms the plot of ''Literature/TheWrongSideOfGoodbye'', sends Harry some expensive bourbon.
** Harry remembers Edgar telling him many years ago at an autopsy that all odors are particulate. That was a scene in ''Literature/CityOfBones''.

* FakingTheDead: It turns out that Mickey Haller's elderly mentor David "Legal" Siegel had his own obituary published several years ago to discourage vengeful ex-clients from looking for him.
* GoingColdTurkey: Cisco, Mickey Haller's investigator, reveals to Harry that he got hooked on opiates as well. Cisco had some of his motorcycle buddies lock him in a sealed room for thirty days, after which he was clean. Later Harry and Cisco do this for a woman Harry rescued from the mob.
* TheInfiltration: For the first time ever, Harry Bosch goes undercover. He makes himself out to be a homeless opioid addict, in order to get the goods on the Russian pill smugglers who killed the Esquivelas.
* TheMafiya: The Esquivelas were killed because of the father's involvement with "a Russian-Armenian syndicate." Esquivela Sr. was filling bogus prescriptions for pills that the Russian mobsters then sold.
