According to Harry Bosch, the black box is the narrative that provides the parameters of an investigation...the why and how did the crime happen. Just like the black box in an airplane provides meaningful data to help figure out why the plane went down.
In this story, 20 years ago a Dutch woman photographer is found dead in the middle of the LA race riots following the Rodney King verdict. It made no sense for her to be there and when Harry and his partner were called to the scene, the LAPD, com ...more

Detective Harry Bosch has a new cold case to explore. Twenty years ago, the body of Photo-journalist Anneke Jespersen was found in an alley during the L.A. riots. She had been shot at close range. No weapon was ever found. Now ballistics has matched a bullet from another murder with the bullet that killed Anneke. Both bullets were shot from the same gun.

My journey through the Harry Bosch Universe continues - as does my love affair with Harry!

I’ll be honest. When I first started this, I thought the mystery wasn’t that interesting. And then the twists and turns started happening and I was glad that I had been paying attention even though I hadn’t been that into it. This turned out to be one of the better Bosch books and am looking forward to the next one.

I listened to this one and loved every moment of it.
The case was an unsolved from one 20 years in the past and Harry going all over to find who the killer was and it kept you on the edge of your seat for the entire book.
I am giving this 5 out of 5 stars.
