One cop's word against another's was something they wouldn't touch in this department. Deep down, they knew a cop's word by itself was worthless. That was why Internal Affairs cops always worked in pairs.”

There was a section in the middle where I worried we were going to get bogged down in the logistics of the rather complicated operation of smoking out the bad guys, so to speak, but then the action ramped up, and it soon became clear why things were spelled out. It’s an event enjoyed by both die hard fans and families alike and has raised thousands of pounds for charity. A Fine Mist of Blood, 2012 - Harry Bosch Short Story, published in Mystery Writers of America Presents Vengeance(April 2012) StarWars.com: ARC Trooper Echo is breaking my heart. You captured a stunning likeness from the pre-Season 7 episodes of the animated series. How does this figure differ from the other Clone Troopers that have come before it in this line?I’ve designed a gadget that will notify me when I run across clichés in crime thrillers with a *BEEP*. Let’s give it a test run on this Michael Connelly novel, shall we? Star Wars fans and collectors can display this fully articulated 6-inch action figure featuring poseable head, arms, and legs, as well as premium deco, in their collections Connelly shows off his deep knowledge of cop procedure, from the examination of the death-scene to the routine questioning of suspects to the characterisations of his fellow cops and superiors. Also the internal politics between the LAPD, FBI & IA is brilliantly depicted. Connelly was crime beat reporter for the LA times and he expertly expertly combines his experience of the federal and local investigative procedures with great accuracy. Overall, while Harry Bosch is no Matt Scudder, I'd say it's not a bad series to break up my fantasy and sci-fi reads. We'll see if it follows the Spencer pattern of going downhill once Connelly achieves mass-market success. Things really get interesting when the body is finally pulled out of the pipe and Harry vaguely recognizes the victim as William Meadows who served with Bosch in Vietnam. The two were "tunnel rats" who went deep underground to explore and destroy enemy tunnels. As Harry presses forward he discovers any number of other incongruities and ties Meadows to a crime that is currently under investigation by the F.B.I.

The second one involves Harry doing something very stupid and later you realize that Connelly only had him do it for the sake of setting up a climactic scene near the end. Harry figures out the identity of an inside man in law enforcement while they’re staking out another potential bank robbery. The obvious and smart thing to do would be to play it cool, alert the other cops quietly and get some people working on bringing him in and trying to find out what he knows. Instead, Harry runs to a pay phone (Yet another dated element.) and calls the guy just so he can tell him that he knows. Why? There’s nothing to be gained, and all he’s done is warn the bad guy. Later, I realized that Connelly wanted Harry and this character to have a big final confrontation, and he needed to have the bad guy know that Harry was onto him. Rather than coming up with some clever plot point to make this happen, Connelly just has his hero go tell the bad guy for no reason whatsoever. Lazy. Very lazy.Anonymous rhymes with Hieronymus, Bosch tells us. Mother liked the old Dutch painter, so why not? Bosch, ma’am. Hieronymus Bosch. Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as Bond – James Bond, does it?

Shit, why is it going off already? Oh, right. Quirky name for a main character. It seems to be calibrated correctly. Let’s proceed. So, it was a little weird for the characters that I've accepted and appreciate in their show roles are so very different in the book. So very different.

Suffice to say I learned a lot about tunnels in Vietnam and L.A. No wonder the world is full of sinkholes these days. I’ve also read about the people who hid in enormous underground cave systems during WWII, so I’m wondering how many levels of the planet we could actually be living on. I digress yet again.

StarWars.com: Hello there, General Kenobi. We've seen Clone Commander Obi-Wan in this series previously as a Walgreens exclusive. But this one appears to be sporting a new Photo Real deco and new armor from his appearance in The Clone Wars film and animated series. Why did you choose this particular version of Kenobi and why doesn't he come with a tiny tea cup?! Pues con Harry Bosch no he encontrado nada de eso. Tb decir que no soy ningún fiera del género. Ejemplos para que veáis mis gustos en el género y por ello si s podéis fiar o no de mis estrellas:Eso, que tampoco coincido mucho con Harry Bosch. Tampoco lo hacía con Charlie Gordon (el de Algernon). Y sin embargo con aquél se me escapaba la lagrimica aun siendo cerca de Bilbao y con Harry ni fú ni fá. Harry es un detective endurecido de manual. De los clásicos. Sin aditivos. El libro está bien porque la trama está bien hilada, es honrada. No nos hace trampas el autor con giros sacados de la manga, el lineal pero correcta. Eso salva al libro. Eso y el oficio del autor, que por supuesto sí se lo reconozco.

The suspect’s death.” That’s the practically-public-enemy I mentioned earlier, the one Bosch claimed might have been reaching for a gun when Bosch ‘stopped’ him. (Or ‘topped’ him?) They should have given him a medal for taking the guy off the streets, but the law doesn’t work that way.
