Overview

For LAPD homicide cop Harry Bosch -- hero, maverick, nighthawk -- the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal.

The dead man, Billy Meadows, was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who fought side by side with him in a nightmare underground war that brought them to the depths of hell. Now, Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city to the torturous link that must be uncovered, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit.

Joining with an enigmatic and seductive female FBI agent, pitted against enemies inside his own department, Bosch must make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, as he tracks down a killer whose true face will shock him.

Harry Bosch

Another great Harry Bosch book. Always enjoy listening to one of these books. Michael Connelly keeps you on the edge of the seat and never quite know what the twist at the end will be. Can only look forward to the next book.

I've listened to Det. Harry Bosch for about 5 books now. Try to listen in order because then you won't be able to tell what happens to who. I read newer Bosch books before I went back to this classic. Still, it's a great story. The reader is excellent.

I usually like this kind of story but this one dragged on, very slow moving with pockets of action. Never really takes off, kind of a snooze-fest.

I liked this book, but I thought it started a little flat.
