Harry Bosch first encountered journalist Anneke Jespersen in a dark alleyway. She'd been shot, execution-style, on the night Los Angeles burned in riots and the police protected no one. His investigation was reassigned and the murder was never solved. Now, twenty years later, Bosch comes across a shocking evidence -- a gun used in recent crimes is the same one that killed Anneke Jespersen. With this sliver of a lead, Bosch must pry open the case that he has never been able to forget. The investigation will stretch from the roughest neighborhoods of Los Angeles to distant battlegrounds where Jespersen once covered bloody conflicts. What really brought her to Los Angeles? And in a new age, will Bosch find the "black box," the one piece of evidence that pulls the case together -- and makes justice possible at last? --

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.
