Publisher's summary

When an LAPD narcotics officer is found with a fatal bullet wound and a suicide note, Detective Harry Bosch follows a bloody trail of drug murders across the Mexico border.

Working on the case, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is reminded of the primal police rule he learned long ago: Don't look for the facts, but the glue that holds them together. Soon Harry's making some very dangerous connections, starting with a dead cop and leading to a bloody string of murders that wind from Hollywood Boulevard to the back alleys south of the border. Now this battle-scarred veteran will find himself in the center of a complex and deadly game - one in which he may be the next and likeliest victim.

Impressed? Ace detective Harry Bosch is also on the case in other exciting Michael Connelly crime-fiction novels.

They Explained It At The End

First off Dick Hill is the Best Narrator Ever!
The story is very good and draws you in but gets confusing at times. Luckily they wrap it up nicely at the end and most of the questions get answered.
We are big fans of Harry Bosch and watched all the seasons on Amazon and this is our 2nd audio book on him.
At the end of this book they give you a free preview of the next book which is nice and also narrated by Dick Hill.
Instead of looking for books that I like I would just search for Dick Hill and get books that he reads.
I do recommend this book.

good story, poor narration

really like the Bosch books, but this narrator didn't capture his voice as well as Titus welliver in other Bosch audiobooks. still pretty good story.

Harry Bosch at his best

Great story with quality character development I have come to expect from Mr. Connelly. Narration is also top of the line. Too bad the LAPD continues to look at Harry with such resentment. On the other hand, this is all part of the entertainment Mr. Connelly so skillfully creates with his main character. The book moves along at a good pace through the various twists and turns of the plot. If mystery/crime drama is your preferred genre, then you won't want to pass up this gem. Highly recommend.

be careful not to slip on this black ice

another great Harry Bosch tale! Michael Connolly surely created a strong character. The three book tail may sit together better with concrete blonde as number two. I'm looking forward to the next one.

A detective story as it should be….

I’m being hooked on this character. Bosh is a detective like you see in series and the narrator tells it so good that i see it as a movie. A good story , i’m already downloaded the third one….

Black Ice

Intertwined plot with lots of players but an excellent story to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Great plot, worth the listen

I really enjoyed this book. I particularly like the male protagonist and how complex he is. He's very mecurial, I never know what he's going to do next, but he always stays true to himself no matter how much trouble that may cause.
