And Tony Hillerman's Navajo series were one of my favorites.Ĭonnelly, like Hillerman, knows his genre and his setting, and The Black Echo is pretty good at conveying the feel of an LA noir. I tried it because while my primary love, as those of you who follow my reviews know, is science fiction and fantasy, I also occasionally am in the mood for crime thrillers and detective mysteries. It's one of those immensely popular commercial fiction series that the author keeps churning out - the most recent one is #19, published in 2014. The Black Echo, published in 1992, is the first book in the Harry Bosch series. 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. 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. Now, Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. 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. For LAPD homicide cop Harry Bosch - hero, maverick, nighthawk - the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic.
