Product Information

The second one involves Harry doing something very stupid and later you realize that Connelly only had him do it for the sake of setting up a climactic scene near the end. Harry figures out the identity of an inside man in law enforcement while they’re staking out another potential bank robbery. The obvious and smart thing to do would be to play it cool, alert the other cops quietly and get some people working on bringing him in and trying to find out what he knows. Instead, Harry runs to a pay phone (Yet another dated element.) and calls the guy just so he can tell him that he knows. Why? There’s nothing to be gained, and all he’s done is warn the bad guy. Later, I realized that Connelly wanted Harry and this character to have a big final confrontation, and he needed to have the bad guy know that Harry was onto him. Rather than coming up with some clever plot point to make this happen, Connelly just has his hero go tell the bad guy for no reason whatsoever. Lazy. Very lazy. Chasing the Dime (per John (see comment 14 below) ...The Detective (not the main character) is Robert Renner. He later appears in The Closers where he works with Harry in Open-Unsolved. Janis Langwiser, an Assistant DA in Angels Flight and A Darkness More Than Night, is a defense attorney in this book. She was Harry's defense attorney in Lost Light. One other minor mentions is the main character's sister, who was a victim of Norman Church in The Concrete Blonde. The story happens in September 2002...)

Harry Bosch is a detective in the LAPD homicide division in Hollywood. While investigating a body found in an old tunnel, he recognises it as a fellow ex marine Meadows who served with him in the Vietnamese war. They were both “tunnel rats” who fought below Vietnam in the extensive tunnels. After recognising him, and realising it wasn’t a simple drug overdose that it looked like, Harry gets pulled into a bigger investigation. His bosses want him out of the force at any cost, and his enemies want him dead. The hunt is on for the killer before he finds himself the next victim. Eso, que tampoco coincido mucho con Harry Bosch. Tampoco lo hacía con Charlie Gordon (el de Algernon). Y sin embargo con aquél se me escapaba la lagrimica aun siendo cerca de Bilbao y con Harry ni fú ni fá. Harry es un detective endurecido de manual. De los clásicos. Sin aditivos. El libro está bien porque la trama está bien hilada, es honrada. No nos hace trampas el autor con giros sacados de la manga, el lineal pero correcta. Eso salva al libro. Eso y el oficio del autor, que por supuesto sí se lo reconozco. My editor told me, 'You're now in a city that's a sunny place for shady people,'"--Michael Connelly, speaking of his adopted city, LA.So this is the first book in the series featuring a LAPD detective named Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch *BEEP*. .. Shit, why is it going off already? Oh, right. Quirky name for a main character. It seems to be calibrated correctly. Let’s proceed. Blood Washes Off, 2011 - Harry Bosch Short Story, published in The Rich and the Dead (May 2011) (Inconsistent with timeline: He is in RHD, but Open-Unsolved)

That was made clear at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, as Hasbro revealed a staggering amount of action figures, role-playing items, and more across its Star Wars lines. If anything, the people in the chain of command above Harry are even worse. They're much more interested in advancing their own careers and protecting the image of the department than they are in the department's mission to serve and protect. And this means that Bosch is going to be in trouble almost all the time, in this book and throughout his career. Everybody admits that Harry is a brilliant detective, but he's not a team player and his actions occasionally embarrass the department. Accordingly, the Powers That Be would just as soon force Harry off the job and he's constantly battling against his superiors and against detectives from the Internal Affairs Division who will go to almost any lengths to dig up dirt against him. A Fine Mist of Blood, 2012 - Harry Bosch Short Story, published in Mystery Writers of America Presents Vengeance(April 2012) El humor no lo ha visto ni de lejos. Ni en pensamientos ni en expresiones (estoooooo, no soy Sir Terry pero algo de eso tengo en mi vida). Premium articulation and detailing: Star Wars fans and collectors can display this fully articulated figure featuring poseable head, arms, and legs, as well as premium deco, in their collection.

Things really get interesting when the body is finally pulled out of the pipe and Harry vaguely recognizes the victim as William Meadows who served with Bosch in Vietnam. The two were "tunnel rats" who went deep underground to explore and destroy enemy tunnels. As Harry presses forward he discovers any number of other incongruities and ties Meadows to a crime that is currently under investigation by the F.B.I. Bosch was a "tunnel rat" In Viet Nam, a terrifying and claustrophobic job that has affected his personality, and the story here in part involves a fellow "rat" who gets killed, the FBI, a woman he kinda falls in love with (but don't get yr hopes up, romantics), a bank heist, police corruption, lies and deceit, the usual LAPD story. He decidido entrar en el Universo Harry Bosch por el principio, y me he llevado una grata sorpresa. Me he encontrado una novela policiaca clásica que, pese a ser una de las primeras del autor, está sólidamente construida y que permite adivinar que lo que queda por delante (nada menos que 25 libros, sólo de esta serie), va a ser intensamente disfrutable. Suffice to say I learned a lot about tunnels in Vietnam and L.A. No wonder the world is full of sinkholes these days. I’ve also read about the people who hid in enormous underground cave systems during WWII, so I’m wondering how many levels of the planet we could actually be living on. I digress yet again. Published in 1992, this is the book that introduced L.A.P.D. homicide detective, Harry Bosch. The series, which runs twenty-four books thus far, has remained strong throughout and is, almost certainly, the gold standard of modern police procedurals.

First impressions can be so deceptive. Well, actually, first, second and third impressions, but who's judging? Me. Totally me.* Connelly shows off his deep knowledge of cop procedure, from the examination of the death-scene to the routine questioning of suspects to the characterisations of his fellow cops and superiors. Also the internal politics between the LAPD, FBI & IA is brilliantly depicted. Connelly was crime beat reporter for the LA times and he expertly expertly combines his experience of the federal and local investigative procedures with great accuracy. Para mí es poco decir “salva” el libro. Yo quiero disfrutar las páginas, estar deseando enganchar el libro y no soltarlo. Que no me molesten, que me dejen leer. Que me joda que se acabe y que casi a mitad del mismo ya esté buscando qué más tiene escrito el autor. Que sin acabar esté pensando qué contaros para que le metáis a la saca y gocéis como yo lo he hecho. Echo may have joined Clone Force 99 -- and will be among the elite crew in the new animated series Star Wars: The Bad Batch this Star Wars Day -- but when we first met him he was just one of the "regs" who ultimately rose up to join the esteemed ARC troopers. Entre las cosas que menos me han gustado, está el tema de Asuntos internos, cuyo ensañamiento en perseguir a Harry roza casi el esperpento y que, aunque están bastante bien integrados en la trama, en algunos momentos la hacen poco creíble. Al final todo queda bien resuelto en un desenlace bastante previsible.Harry’s a Vietnam vet, suffers badly, sleeps poorly, enjoys a drink, and lives on coffee and cigarettes. So he’s ready to go see a body anytime, day or night. Is he okay? The psych evaluation after his shooting seems to hedge its bets. Plus, get details on new additions to The Vintage Collection and a helmet that allows you to jump into a simulation of the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth. SÍ me gustan Camilleri, Gómez Jurado, Lorenzo Silva, Winslow, Eva García, Follett, Le Carré, Carmen Mola, Forsyth, Barker, Géllida, Kerr, Larsson, Redondo (alguno), Rosa Montero, Zafón.
