The Black Ice -- Michael Connelly

<b>When an LAPD narcotics officer is found with a fatal bullet wound and a suicide note, Detective Harry Bosch follows a bloody trail of drug murders across the Mexico border.</b> Narcotics officer Cal Moore's orders were to look into the city's latest drug killing. Instead, he ends up in a motel room with a fatal bullet wound to the head and a suicide note stuffed in his back pocket. Working the case, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is reminded of the primal police rule he learned long ago: Don't look for the facts, but the glue that holds them together. Soon Harry's making some very dangerous connections, starting with a dead cop and leading to a bloody string of murders that wind from Hollywood Boulevard to the back alleys south of the border. Now this battle-scarred veteran will find himself in the center of a complex and deadly game--one in which he may be the next and likeliest victim.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Michael Connelly<br><b>Publisher:</b> Little Brown and Company<br><b>Published:</b> 06/01/1993<br><b>Pages:</b> 336<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.42lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.19h x 6.33w x 1.09d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780316153829<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Booklist</i> 04/01/1993 pg. 1413<br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 03/22/1993<br><i>Entertainment Weekly</i> 10/16/2009 pg. 60<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><b>Michael Connelly</b> is the author of twenty-eight previous novels, including #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestsellers <i>The Crossing</
