Book Description:
For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal... because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit. Pitted against enemies inside his own department and forced to make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, Bosch goes on the hunt for a killer whose true face will shock him.

This is the first in the Harry Bosch series. This is the 1st book that ive read by Michael Connelly. I am hooked. The ending will surprise you.

My first Harry Bosch novel. Good detective story that starts small and slowly builds into a complex caper. I liked the book, but Harry hasn't won me over yet. I'll suspend judgment until I read Black Ice.

Harry Bosch investigates a body found in a drainpipe at a dam. This one is personal because Harry knew the victim. I love Harry Bosch.

One of Connelly's best, with echoes of the Vietnam War and a haunting narrative. Very memorable. Highly recommended.
Connelly is one of the best mystery writers around today. Articulate, literate, creative, he is for me one of those who are currently holding the gold standard. He can sometimes seem unrelentingly dark, but he's never boring, and never ever stupid.
A body in a drainpipe leads Harry Bosch into a case that becomes personal.He finds that the murdered man was a fellow "Tunnel Rat" Vietnam vet.Harry had fought side by side with this guy and has flashbacks of the hideous parts of the war. He fights his way through blind alleys that lead to a daring heist and other complications you need to read to believe.
the first of the Harry Bosch Books - great read
Jim P. (Visions of Vietnam and searching tunnels revisit Det. Bosch after a body is found in a drainage pipe who happened to be a former comrade of arms. Good reading.
Gail S. (I didn't read this one but my Dad did and he said it's typical Michael Connelly, GREAT!
This is the first book in the Harry Bosch series, and it was wonderful. I'm about to read the second, and I can hardly wait.

This is the first of the Harry Bosch books. I can't wait to read the rest.
Barbara N. from BOYCEVILLE, WI wrote on 7/29/2006...exciting story
Good Harry Bosch tale. He surely has ESP as clues just seem to fall in his lap but there's enough good action to keep you interested and wondering.
