In this "superb" thriller, Detective Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to the unsolved killing of a young female photographer during the 1992 L.A. riots (Wall Street Journal).
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved.
Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.
Riveting and relentlessly paced, The Black Box leads Harry Bosch, "one of the greats of crime fiction" (New York Daily News), into one of his most fraught and perilous cases.

Another great Bosch installmentFans will love it
Our respect for Bosch grows as he confronts the evil depicted throughout the course of this novel. His core values never waiver. Although he confronts shallow, short minded beaurocrats and self-interested psychopaths, he remains true to his internal reality regardless of the threats and anguish it causes. This is a good solid Bosch novel, a credit to the author.
Once again Michael Connelly has me hooked! The mystery and intrigue of this Bosch adventure in book 16 of his book series tied together a crime that happens connecting some military members overseas then back to riots in LA to modern day mystery waiting for the death of a woman that fell into Bosch’s hands to be solved. Without ruining the story for those who may have not yet read it, as always Connelly kept me on the edge of my seat. I admit no matter what book I’ve been reading in this Bosch series I’ve had a hard time putting the books down. I thoroughly enjoy and love the mystery and intrigue Connelly draws his fans into. I find it a very pleasurable and relaxing way to spend my time and every single time I finish a book in the series I cannot wait to move onto the next one. He is a very talented writer and proves through his writing and acknowledgments to his connections contributing to his writing that he is very thorough in his research. You not only get a feel for the fight and the fire in Bosch that is so relentless and which I absolutely love and admire as characteristics but also the hurt and care he feels towards the victims of such heinous crimes and wanting to, choosing to be a voice for the voiceless. It is sheer pleasure to live out these stories through the depth of the character Connelly has created in Bosch. For all my feeler mystery, crime, intrigue readers I can promise you it’s time well spent and I strongly recommend his Bosch book series. Once again, very well done, Mr. Connelly! Cheers!
Michael connelly does his typical outstanding job. He takes a pedestrian investigation and creates a riveting story. A a a
A great story with excellent secondary characters. I especially liked Mendenhall.. I think the Art Pepper stuff is tiresome and too contrived although I believe the author's utilization of Pepper is real a very good read
