Summary
YA--
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.
