All my concerns about the unnatural dialogue in Michael Connelly's first Harry Bosch novel, The Black Echo, are completely cleared up for his second outing. Bosch's supervisor, Pounds, has some sentences that could use some contractions to make them more natural, but he doesn't spend enough time talking for it to matter.

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. ( )

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.) ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446613444, Mass Market Paperback)

Narcotics officer Cal Moore's orders were to look into the city's latest drug killing. Instead, he ends up in a motel room with a fatal bullet wound to the head and a suicide note stuffed in his back pocket. Working the case, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is reminded of the primal police rule he learned long ago: Don't look for the facts, but the glue that holds them together. Soon Harry's making some very dangerous connections, starting with a dead cop and leading to a bloody string of murders that wind from Hollywood Boulevard to the back alleys south of the border. Now this battle-scarred veteran will find himself in the center of a complex and deadly game-one in which he may be the next and likeliest victim.
