Why read it?

1 author picked The Black Ice as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

For me, reading a Harry Bosch novel is like inviting an old friend to dinner and catching up over beers. The Black Ice is the 2nd installment in Michael Connelly's Bosch series, published back in 1993, but recently re-released as a paperback.

The Black Ice is a good story, about a Robbery/Homicide…

From Edmond's list on crime from a retired police detective.
