The Black Echo

Classic Connelly #1: The book that introduced the now legendary Harry Bosch to the world.


LAPD detective Harry Bosch gets a call-out: a body has been found in a drainage tunnel off Mulholland Drive in Hollywood, and it looks like a routine drug overdose. But one new puncture wound amid the scars of old tracks leaves Bosch with questions.


Worse, Harry Bosch recognises the victim. Billy Meadows was a fellow 'tunnel rat' in Vietnam, running against the Viet Cong and the fear they all used to call the Black Echo. Haunted by the memory of once failing his comrade, Bosch is determined to avoid doing so again.


This time justice is personal.
