The Black Echo (Harry Bosch, #1; Harry Bosch Universe, #1)

by Michael Connelly

The key would be Tran. Find the last police captain, then find his bank. There you find the bandits. And the killers of Billy Meadows. And Sharkey.

He defined good company not by the conversation but by the lack of it. When there was no need to talk to feel comfortable, that was the right company.
