Loading... The Black Ice (1993)by Michael Connelly
None. Nice ride. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Second in the Harry bosch series. An entertaining page-turner that gets a little corny when Harry starts making goo-goo eyes at the widow of a recently slain cop. Harry Bosch investigates the apparent suicide of a fellow LAPD cop whose life has some disturbing parallels with his own. The search leads him to Mexico and a thrilling drug raid, and then to a shocking revelation. Through it all Harry goes his own way, regardless of departmental strictures and politics. Another excellent book from Connelly. The setting of Calexico/Mexicali is particularly well-drawn. (Note: corrected review, I erroneously posted the review of BLACK ECHO under this book.) Not as good as other Connelly books I have read. no reviews | add a review

Again, Connelly provides a twist in the end that I did not see coming, and the whole mystery was very well done. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series more now than I was after the first book. (
