The Black Box by Michael Connelly

It's been a while since I read a Bosch novel but I still really enjoy them. It's just so easy to relate to Bosch and the way he conducts himself and his investigations. He pulled a cold case where he was one of the first detectives on the scene during the riots in the 90s. A reporter from Denmark was killed and her killer never found. Bosch knew at the time it was unlikely to be solved due to the chaos on the streets and he wants justice for this woman.
At the office, Bosch has another horrible lieutenant to manage; one that's just chasing the corporate ladder to the top. It seems that this LT has reported Bosch to the internal investigation team for misconduct. Poor Bosch can't seem to catch a break with managers. They all seem to be horrible.
Bosch also is a bit on eggshells with his daughter, trying to figure out how to be a good single father to a teenager, which I'm sure is no easy job even though she's a good kid. I really like the dynamic between these two and Maddie isn't written like a spoiled teenager.
