I bought this paperback novel at The Book Barn in Glendale, AZ on Mo 11/27/06 and I completed reading on Sa 1/13/07 which was the day of the library sidewalk sale in Springfield. In the book I found the receipt and a note to buy 'kitten' food for Buddy.
Re-finished Th 3/23/17- I had been reading this novel on and off for a couple of weeks.
A Harry Bosch novel- "hard-boiled urban detective"
A series of murders in LA lead Harry to a distribution center for a new drug called, Black Ice. This drug is a Mexican improvement of a similar drug made in Hawaii, Oahu, but the impurities cause the chemicals to turn black, The drug is manufactured at a large ranch near the border towns of Calexico and Mexicali.
Cal Moore is an undercover drug detective and an acquaintance of Harry's. Moore has apparently committed suicide, but this is found to be murder. Actually Moore is deeply involved in the smuggling ring, and he engineered his fake suicide to take on the identity of his half-brother.
Gritty and Noir. Harry lives in an isolated cabin in the hills of LA and he is involved with the LA coroner and on the outs with his supervisor.

I could read anything by Connelly and the Bosch series are only part of his large body of work. He also wrote THE LINCOLN LAWYER and BLOOD WORK which were made into fine Hollywood films.
