From Amazon.com:
"Harry Bosch likes order, contends that there are no coincidences, and keeps meticulous records in his 'murder book.' When the body of a former tunnel rat from Vietnam is found in a drainpipe, Harry is the detective on duty and is called to the scene. His identification of the body begins an investigation that leads to more murder, bank robbery, heroin, diamonds, and betrayal. Connelly's descriptions of autopsies, murder scenes, and police procedure are vivid and realistic. The use of acronyms and police jargon puts readers in the middle of the action. A real page turner with gutty realism and an unusual twist."

I've been away from this genre for a while, and this one was a fine choice to read on return. A good story with a believable protagonist, enough action to keep the pages turning, some delving into psyches as well, and while partly predictable, it didn't matter. My first Michael Connelly and I wasn't disappointed.

Now being read by the other member of the household, but reserved after that for a special case mooch.
