Published on the 3rd of November 2014. Publishing editors come and go. They move to different companies, they take over several different lines. Some who run SF and Crime Fiction lists know nothing about SF or Crime Fiction and care even less, but they usually move on editing other kinds of book. ...

I wish the Harry Bosch series would never end. It's my favorite crime series and the quality has stayed consistently good for 19 books now.

Yesterday, he died. Now it's not just a cold case, it's homicide. Harry is currently in the last year of his DROP contr...
