The Black Ice by Michael Connelly

4.0

Harry Bosch is one of my favourite police detective anti-heroes. He rubs too many people up the wrong way to be a hero but he has a strong moral conscience and equally strong desire to get the bad guy(s). It is Christmas Eve and Harry is listening to the police scanner as he is on duty. He hears a call that he should have got himself - the suicide of fellow cop Cal Moore. Harry goes to the crime scene but is quickly shooed away by the brass. He can't let the case go though, and when Cal's colleagues give him a folder with his name on it he is drawn more and more in. This case seems to relate to another of his cases, involving the death of drug dealer, Jimmy Kapps. Bosch has a great ability to stay just outside of trouble and this case sees him getting drawn into something he really wishes he didn't have to be a part of.
