For the first time in one volume the three novels that introduced Michael Connellys great LAPD homicide detective maverick Hieronymous (Harry) Bosch. The Black Echo (Winner of the Edgar Award for Best First Novel) For Harry Bosch-hero loner nighthawk-the body stuffed in a drainpipe off Mulholland Drive isnt just another statistic. This one is personal. Billy Meadows was a fellow Vietnam tunnel rat fighting the VC and the fear they used to call the Black Echo. Harry let Meadows down once. He wont do it again. The Black Ice The corpse in the hotel room seems to be that of a missing LAPD narcotics officer. Rumors abound that the cop had crossed over-selling a new drug called Black Ice. Now Harrys making some dangerous connections leading from the cop to a string of bloody murders and from Hollywood Boulevards drug bazaar to Mexicos dusty back alleys. In this lethal game Harry is likely to be the next victim. The Concrete Blonde When Harry Bosch shot and killed Norman Church the police were convinced it marked the end of the hunt for the Dollmaker-L.A.s most bizarre serial killer. But now Churchs widow is accusing Harry of killing the wrong man-a charge that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmakers macabre signature. For the second time Harry must hunt the murderer down before he strikes again. Together these three novels are the perfect way to discover or rediscover the sleuth the New York Times Book Review called a wonderful old-fashioned hero who isnt afraid to walk through the flames.
