This is the first entry in the Harry Bosch series by Connelly. I read a couple of Connelly's other books a few years ago but this is the first Bosch novel that I have read. I decided to try these after seeing the first season of Bosch on Amazon Prime which I really enjoyed. I also enjoyed the other Connelly books that I have read, especially The Poet, so am glad that I finally got back to him. I really enjoyed The Black Echo and the Bosch character who is a maverick police detective working out of the Hollywood division in California. In this one, we learn about Bosch's background in Vietnam where he was a tunnel rat, who was sent into the myriad tunnels in Vietnam looking for VC. When a body is discovered in a tunnel above Mulholland Reservoir, Bosch is sent to investigate and finds out the body was one of his fellow tunnel rats, named Meadows, who he knew in Nam. Bosch is then able to tie Meadows and his murder to an unsolved bank heist where the robbers had tunneled into a bank vault and absconded with the contents of hundreds of safety deposit boxes. But were the robbers really after the contents of the boxes or was there a specific target? Along the way, Bosch teams up with a female FBI agent, Eleanor Wish, who he also has an affair with. He is also hounded by internal affairs who thought he may be involved with the bank heist. A very good entry in this series with a twist at the end that I was not expecting. I will be reading more in this series!
