May 1992, and after four LAPD officers were acquitted after the savage beating of Rodney King, Los Angeles is ablaze. As looting and burning take over the city, law and order are swept away in a tidal wave of violence. But under threat of their lives, homicide detectives like Harry Bosch are still stubbornly trying to do their job. With no effective police presence on the streets, murder just got a whole lot easier - and investigating them got a whole lot harder.

When Harry finds the body of a female journalist in an alley he is forced to hand over the case to the Riot Crimes Task Force, knowing that it will never be solved.

Twenty years later, new evidence confirms her death was not a case of random violence but something much more personal. This time Harry is determined that the killer isn't going to escape - even if it means stepping back into the darkest days of the city he loves...

Kritikerstimmen

Connelly's Los Angeles cop Harry Bosch finds himself retired but roped in to try to reduce the growing pile of unsolved crimes in his city ... Bosch steps in proves his retirement is just as exciting, dangerous and gripping as his previous life.
For 20 years Connelly's creation Harry Bosch has been fighting crime in LA and the author is marking the anniversary with this taut and clever thriller ... a treat
An engrossing slice of LA noir
THE BLACK BOX is another novel steeped in recent history ... it's a story that's as old as the genre itself but Connelly's skill is such that it all feels entirely fresh and vibrant, but heartbreakingly poignant too.
Another gripping and excellent thriller
Another winner from Michael Connelly

Am listening through all of Connelly's work right now. I found the storyline in this one could have had a few more layers, complications, twists - but I still very much enjoyed listening to it. Not the best Bosch in my book, but still very worthwhile.

The narrator is top notch! I'd say the performance is perfect!! My favorite in all the 15+ books I have listened too so far!

Brilliant narrator, solid story

Gleich vorweg - ich bin ein absoluter Harry Bosch-Fan. Fast alles, was Michael Connelly bisher geschrieben hat, habe ich gelesen oder als audio book genossen. Daher hat mir auch "The Black Box" recht gut gefallen. Nur mit dem Sprecher konnte ich mich nicht so recht anfreunden. Nach meinem persönlichen Geschmack ist Dick Hill die ideale Stimme für Detective Harry Bosch.

Ein typischer Harry Bosch

The narrative and the narrator were a good match and I went through this book in 2 days. The only footnote is that the story could have continued. At the end of the book there were a few interesting questions unanswered...

Another good one!

This time, Harry Bosch gets lucky - a lot. The story of "The black box" is not as Bosch-centered as others in the sense of "Harry does it all". It is rather the people around him, who, though not playing a role but being sources of information only, deliver him the clues on a plate. One can put the pieces together just as Bosch does it, which makes it a bit boring once you know what happened (not a new story). Therefore, the dramatic scenes in the end appear a bit fake and unnecessary. Besides, a couple things didn't make sense. When someone is asked about a phonecall (regarding a very important issue) he made a few years ago, it is not plausible to me that this person won't remember this ever happened and not be alarmed by the question. And a helicopter that flies into a well-lid windmill instead of fleeing in a different direction? I don't know... But I guess this could be considered a minor lapse. Also, and I had not noticed this with Connelly before, Bosch repeats himself quite a bit, especially towards the end. The constant talking about how he wants to keep the motion of the case going, how he gets into a flow, and how hard it hits him, whenever he gets at a dead end is tiring. So to me, not everything added up in "The black box", Bosch had too much luck and the other people (who were scratched to be potentially very interesting characters, Rachel's colleague for example) didn't get their fair share of attention, and I personally have a hard time standing too many reptitions of phrases/words. It is still a decent book, very well read by Michael McConnohie, but not as good as "Echo Park", "The Narrows" or "The Reversal". Oh, and beware of quite questionable behavior by Bosch. He is not an all-good guy anyway, but this time it is a bit over the top. Unthinkable that something like this would just happen and no one cared. Must be artistic license, so try not to reflect on it too much, otherwise it might ruin Bosch for you.

Decent, but there is better by Connelly
