Synopsis "the black box (a harry bosch novel)"

In this "superb" thriller, Detective Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to the unsolved killing of a young female photographer during the 1992 L.A. riots (Wall Street Journal). 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.

American writer born on July 21, 1956 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Graduated in Journalism from the University of Florida in 1980, he worked in various media outlets in Fort Lauderdale and Daytona Beach.

After being nominated in 1986 for a Pulitzer for a series of interviews with survivors of the Delta Airlines Flight 191 crash, written in collaboration with two colleagues, he moved to California after accepting a job offer from the Los Angeles Times.

Connelly is a well-known author for his detective novels. Particularly popular is his character Heronymus "Harry" Bosch (named in homage to the Flemish painter Hieronymus Bosch), a Los Angeles police detective who appears in more than a dozen of his novels. The novel Blood Work (1998) was later adapted into a film directed and starred by Clint Eastwood.

Throughout his career, he has won well-known awards such as the RBA International Prize for Crime Writing.
