I found her in our living room, bleeding and close to death, but alive. Barely. Until morning stole her last breath. The media called her killer the “Triangle Terror” … and then forgot about her. But I never forgot—my murdered sister, and an investigation that led to my own resurrection from the dead. Views: 48
For Dorothea Cassidy Thursdays were special. Every week she would
look forward to the one day she could call her own, and would plan to
visit people she wanted to see as a welcome respite from the routine
duties that being a vicar’s wife entailed. But one Thursday in June was
to be more special than any other. It was the day that Dorothea Cassidy
was strangled. As the small town of Otterbridge prepares for its
summer carnival, Inspector Stephen Ramsay begins a painstaking
reconstruction of Dorothea’s last hours. He soon discovers that she had
taken on a number of deserving cases – a sick and lonely old woman, a
disturbed adolescent, a compulsive gambler, a single mother with a
violent boyfriend and a child in care – and even her close family have
their secrets to hide. All these people are daunted, in one way or
another, by Dorothea’s goodness. But which of them could have possibly
wanted her dead? It is not until a second body is discovered
that Ramsay starts to understand how Dorothea lived – and why she died.
With the carnival festivities in full swing and dusk failing in
Otterbridge, Ramsay’s murder investigation reaches its chilling climax .

In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved.
Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.
Riveting and relentlessly paced, THE BLACK BOX leads Harry Bosch, "one of the greats of crime fiction" ( New York Daily News ), into one of his most fraught and perilous cases. Views: 48
