Hollywood, California Detective Harry Bosch is called to the scene of a dead body and discovers he knows the identity of the victim and pursues the case further. Bosch finds himself joined with an FBI agent, Eleanor Wish, and pitted against enemies in his own department as he tries to solve the cas...
This book, written to be contemporary when it was first published, has the feel of film noir, reading this two decades later. Connelly inveigles the reader with his atmospheric treatment of a dark and convoluted tale. The opening tableau, a prolonged and very detailed introduction to the main char...
It took a while to work through my to-read list and make it to my signed copy of The Black Echo. I met Michael at the Sydney Writers' Festival, had the customary quick chat and walked away with a couple of his books signed - made it worthwhile bringing that book from home.
