They extract leads to various murders and criminal partners he might have been involved with. On the following morning, Bosch and Wish go to a halfway house where Meadows had stayed. They make a tentative truce, deciding to collaborate more. That night, Wish appears at Bosch’s house to apologize for the antagonism. Bosch feuds with Rourke over which of the different leads they should follow on the case, and they clash with Wish over who should have the privilege of hypnotizing Sharkey to extract information. The next day, Wish tries to distract Bosch from the case, hinting at an ulterior motive for her persistent antagonism. The IAD continues to pursue his suspension. After finding Sharkey, the FBI rescinds its complaint. He learns that it is a young man named Sharkey, and though he later learns Sharkey is connected to a gang which assaults and robs gay men, he is momentarily sympathetic, having learned about his horrible upbringing.
Knowing his time is dwindling, Bosch rushes to find the identity of the anonymous witness of the crime. Eventually, Wish’s boss, John Rourke, sends a complaint to the IAD, a legal entity that dislikes Bosch for refusing to join its highly politicized club, which it calls the “Family.” On the following day, the IAD comes close to successfully getting Bosch suspended from the force. Bosch contacts the FBI asking to work together, but is rebuffed during each of his attempts by a special agent, Eleanor Wish. He uncovers evidence that connects Meadows to an unsolved bank robbery in the city. During the investigation in these water conduits underneath Los Angeles, Bosch finds the body of Billy Meadows, another tunnel rat and one of his friends from wartime. It's a personal opinion, but I do think that this book successfully delivers all that anyone could ask for from a crime thriller and if you enjoy the crime genre, I would definitely recommend it.The first investigation begins when a young graffiti artist calls the police, having seen a body being taken from a Jeep into a water pipe. Connelly could at least have spelled them out here and there, but don't let that put you off. Unfortunately, the book has some police abbreviations and they were confusing. Connelly has made Bosch realistic, giving him faults and flaws but also redeeming factors. With a reputation as being a loner, he's a jazz fan with a taste for coffee, beer and cigarettes.
Bosch suspects that the robbers were after more than money and he then teams up with the FBI, in particular agent Eleanor Wish, in an attempt to stop their next robbery.Īn absolutely brilliant and entertaining read! Bosch is a very interesting character. The death of Billy Meadows, a friend and fellow "tunnel rat" from the war attracts Bosch's attention, especially when he works out that it may have been connected to a bank robbery using underground tunnels.
