This is the second time I read this book. The last time was 20+ years ago. It has a wonderfully detailed and complicated plot. I shouldn’t have waited so long to re-read it. But then again, it kept me guessing all the way through, even though I read it before.

Even though this is one of Connelly’s older books the characters are so outlined. He sets the stage for future Harry Bosch stories and I’m ready.

Excellent story line from beginning to end!

Exciting story, but it dragged out too long.

I think this is the best written of the Bosch series. Perhaps The Last Coyote comes close. The latest books seem to be written by a committee but this is literature. Don’t get me wrong. I still love the latest books. But this book rings true to the heart. And is so well written and beautiful in prose and style. It is nothing but a masterpiece. They should teach this in the English departments in colleges. Teach how this genre brings forth truths and angst and love like any great book. And no one does it better than Connelly. No one.

Great read! I kinda hoped my guess about a particular direction might be interesting and it turned out to be a good guess! I don’t want to say much more if you catch my drift. Connelly hits another winner! Enjoy!

I have read quite a few Bosch books. But this one was probably my favorite. Never boring, great characterization, an enjoyable read through out.

This book was captivating and rewarding to read. It made me wish for future success of Harry Bosch's future romance life. A well told suspenseful story. Good Reading and Cheers, Fenning

This is my first Michael Connelly book I have read, and I absolutely loved it. From beginning to end I was hooked. I would definitely recommend this book to people who love reading about law enforcement, narcotics, murders, twist and turns in the plot, with a lot of action and thrills to go with it. I also liked how Connelly used reference to actual geographic location, such as street names in the Hollywood/L.A. & Mexicali area. Makes the story feel real. This is Connellys second book to this series. The first book is named "The Black Echo." I have not had the chance to read it, but will now. The third installment is due out next month. Harry Bosch is the main character and will keep you in suspence with his never giving up attitude. He will take you on a journey to solve police cases that involve a string of murders from the streets of Hollywood to Mexicali. You have to buy the book to get all the exciting details.

Great read. The price didn't do it justice.
