DescriptionIn a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved. Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together. Riveting and relentlessly paced, THE BLACK BOX leads Harry Bosch, "one of the greats of crime fiction" (New York Daily News), into one of his most fraught and perilous cases. Critic Reviewsfrom Bookreporter.com - Joe Hartlaub Harry Bosch fans can rejoice.

My ReviewReader ReviewsWrite a Review - February 19, 2013 Harry is very old. He is an expert detective able to uncover 20 year old conspiracies. In the beginning you witness him in the 1992 LA riots, trying to solve an obscure murder of a journalist. In fifteen minutes. He fails, whispering sorry to the white Danish girl killed in the middle of the ghetto. 20 years later, he makes gold from dust and pieces together a seemingly hopeless case. The force of his success is felt with every vital discovery, and it feels like I am the one succeeding. I still feel angry. About the Author |
