Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author Michael Connelly, a short story featuring LAPD detective Harry Bosch and FBI agent Rachel Walling.

Two women have gone missing, and LAPD detective Harry Bosch has a strong suspicion that an avid fisherman named Denninger is the culprit. Bosch needs something stronger than a suspicion to bring Denninger in, but all he has are a handful of photos - prior mug shots and pictures of Denninger posing with his prize fish. It's not much to go on, and Bosch is running out of time, which is why he calls in FBI agent Rachel Walling. What she sees in these photos could blow his case wide open.

"Blue on Black" by Michael Connelly is one of 20 short stories within Mulholland Books' Strand Originals series, featuring thrilling stories by the biggest names in mystery from the Strand Magazine archives. View the full series list at mulhollandbooks.com, and listen to them all!

Titus

Titus Welliver is the best by far narrator of Michael Connellys stories! Lew Cariou second…

Too short

Great story line for Bosch fans, but way too short for 1 credit. Should be part of a collection of short stories

A rip off for 1 credit

Good story and performance but unfair cost. I tried to buy it for $2.17 and website would nit take my password. This made the experience frustrating.

another great Bosch

Nice touch using Titus to read this short. Well spoken narrator. Great descriptive story blending Bosch 1st person narrating story and Titus projecting the Bosch charater.

This sounds familiar...

This is a quick little vignette with Bosch working a serial killer case with an unofficial assist from Special Agent Rachel Walling. However, the parallel to the incident that sets up the action in “The Narrows” is so strong that I half-expected either Harry or Rachel to comment on it — that novel involved a fisherman’s GPS with prime fishing spots being lost in a poker match, then later being stolen by a serial killer who marked the location where he’d buried some of his victims on it and mailed it to Walling to begin a game of cat and mouse against her.

Just a sample.

Good for what it was - just a taste of his work, with no history of anything. 😃
