Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* At his core, Harry Bosch is a cop with a mission—to tip the scales of justice toward the side of murder victims and their survivors. The scales can never be righted, of course, even by solving the cases Bosch is assigned in the Open Unsolved Unit of the LAPD. That is especially true in the 20-year-old murder of Danish journalist Anneke Jesperson, who was killed during the L.A. riots of 1992. What was Jesperson, a white woman, doing in South Central L.A. in the aftermath of the riots? As usual, Bosch faces not only the seeming impossibility of reconstructing a crime that has been cold for two decades but also the roadblocks imposed by the bureaucrats at the top of the LAPD. But Bosch has never met a roadblock he wasn’t compelled to either barge through or cannily avoid. Harry is such a compelling character largely due to his fundamentally antiestablishment personality, which leads to chaos as often as to triumph, but also because his unswerving work ethic reflects not simply duty but also respect for the task before him. Harry does it right, even—or especially—when his bosses want something else entirely. That’s the case this time—How would it look if a white cop made headlines by solving the riot-related murder of a white woman? Better to let it slide. In real life, we all let things slide, but in life according to Bosch, nothing slides. We like Harry, as we like many other fictional crime solvers, because he never stops, but we love him because he has the scars to prove that never sliding is no easy thing. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Connelly’s twenty-fifth book appears in his twentieth year of publishing, an anniversary that his publisher has been celebrating throughout 2012 with various “Year of Connelly” promotions, all leading up to the publication of The Black Box. --Bill Ott

Review

PRAISE FOR THE DROP:

"Connelly inherits the mantle of Raymond Chandler.... Their books share a kind of ambitious artistry that strains to reach beyond genre fiction."―
Chuck Leddy, Boston Globe

"Connelly is superb at building suspense."―
Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal

"Bosch is one of the best detectives in crime fiction, and Connelly continues to amaze with his latest effort."―
Jeff Ayers, Associated Press

"Starts with a bang and stays strong all the way through."―
Janet Maslin, New York Times

"Connelly's lean, just-the-facts style makes for crisp dialogue and a brisk, info-driven plot....A haunted quality has always been one of the chief attractions of Connelly's series and of Bosch's character."―
Art Taylor, Washington Post

One of Harry's best
One of the better Harry Bosch stories and I've been an avid fan and read all of them. This story takes the reader down a logical path of investigation concerning the death of a female journalist during the LA riots only to pull a head fake toward the end that leads to an entirely new path. Plot demonstrates why Harry is such a good detective by not following the logical path but to keep an open mind and to pursue every thread toward solving a mystery most investigators had been willing to assume was a clear cut case of her being killed by a rioter. Investigation takes Harry out of LA and into a dangerous turf in Northern California where he is exposed without any support until an adversary shows up to help rescue Harry from what looked to be his demise. As per usual Harry has to combat a boss who is looking only for quick closures and is not willing to spend money to pursue the truth. Nice touch to bring Harry's old flame Rachel Walling of the FBI back into the current picture albeit just a cameo appearance.
