The Black Ice (Harry Bosch, Bk 2)
robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2104 more book reviews


On Christmas day, Homicide Detective Harry Bosch learns of the apparent suicide of Narcotics officer Cal Moore. Headquarters want the investigation closed quickly and puts Harry on some other unsolved cases to keep him out of the way. But soon those cases are leading Harry to a string of murders, including an unidentified Hispanic male. As Harry tries to learn the identity of the victim, he finds ties to a synthetic drug called "Black Ice". This is the drug that Cal Moore was investigating at the time of his death. More and more it looks like Cal's death was not a suicide.

This is the second book in Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series. There are a series of seemingly unrelated murders that Harry ties together throughout the book. This mystery has plenty of action, and some surprising twists and turns, especially in the second half. My rating: 4 Stars.
