Book Description
For the first time in one volume, the three novels that introduced Michael Connelly's great LAPD homicide detective, maverick Hieronymous (Harry) Bosch. The Black Echo (Winner of the Edgar Award for Best First Novel) For Harry Bosch-hero, loner, nighthawk-the body stuffed in a drainpipe off Mulholland Drive isn't just another statistic. This one is personal. Billy Meadows was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat," fighting the VC and the fear they used to call the Black Echo. Harry let Meadows down once. He won't do it again. The Black Ice The corpse in the hotel room seems to be that of a missing LAPD narcotics officer. Rumors abound that the cop had crossed over-selling a new drug called Black Ice. Now Harry's making some dangerous connections, leading from the cop to a string of bloody murders, and from Hollywood Boulevard's drug bazaar to Mexico's dusty back alleys. In this lethal game, Harry is likely to be the next victim. The Concrete Blonde When Harry Bosch shot and killed Norman Church, the police were convinced it marked the end of the hunt for the Dollmaker-L.A.'s most bizarre serial killer. But now Church's widow is accusing Harry of killing the wrong man-a charge that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature. For the second time, Harry must hunt the murderer down, before he strikes again. Together, these three novels are the perfect way to discover, or rediscover, the sleuth the New York Times Book Review called a "wonderful, old-fashioned hero who isn't afraid to walk through the flames."

Pages : 496
Book Description
LAPD Detective Harry Bosch crosses paths with FBI profiler Terry McCaleb while investigating the murder of a Hollywood actress. Harry Bosch is up to his neck in a case that has transfixed all of celebrity-mad Los Angeles: a movie director is charged with murdering an actress during sex, and then staging her death to make it look like a suicide. Bosch is both the arresting officer and the star witness in a trial that has brought the Hollywood media pack out in full-throated frenzy. Meanwhile, Terry McCaleb is enjoying an idyllic retirement on Catalina Island when a visit from an old colleague brings his former world rushing back. It's a murder, the unreadable kind of murder he specialized in solving back in his FBI days. The investigation has stalled, and the sheriff's office is asking McCaleb to take a quick look at the murder book to see if he turns up something they've missed. McCaleb's first reading of the crime scene leads him to look for a methodical killer with a taste for rituals and revenge. As his quick look accelerates into a full-sprint investigation, the two crimes -- his murdered loner and Bosch's movie director -- begin to overlap strangely. With one unsettling revelation after another, they merge, becoming one impossible, terrifying case, involving almost inconceivable calculation. McCaleb believes he has unmasked the most frightening killer ever to cross his sights. But his investigation tangles with Bosch's lines, and the two men find themselves at odds in the most dangerous investigation of their lives.

Book Description
The son of a slain Little Rock Police Officer, Kyle Grant was honored and excited to receive his acceptance to the FBI Academy. On the eve of his departure, an unsuspecting Grant is viciously snatched from his home. The next day, a man named Peter Wallace assumes Grant's identity and reports to Quantico, Virginia, taking Grant's place at the FBI Academy. Deep within the Ozark Mountains, Grant languishes in a prison called the Fortress, a terrorist lair. The Fortress is the terrorist training Academy of the Wallace family, led by the patriarch and evil genius Tim Wallace. Wallace groomed his children, whom he affectionately called coyotes, to be trained terrorists. Each coyote's mission is to infiltrate key government agencies in preparation for a terrorist assault on the United States. Grant's kidnapping is the final move on the Wallace's terrorist chessboard. Their evil plot, however, will face a major obstacle. Carlos Sullivan, veteran FBI Agent and polygraph examiner, is a pioneer in the field of lie detection, assigned to the Boston office of the FBI. By happenstance, Grant's imposter is posted to the Boston Office, where he crosses paths with Sullivan, who soon begins to suspect the new Agent is not who he claims to be. Sullivan and his team begin a search for the truth, which leads to a cat and mouse game. Will Grant's imposter be discovered before it's too late? Can the coyotes be stopped or will the terrorist plot bring the country to its knees?

Harry Bosch is back on the case, and not a moment too soon" (Chicago Sun Times).
