It is a fast moving piece, but the last 150 pages are getting a little tedious in terms of bringing together all the subplots. That’s another reason I’m writing this now rather than finishing the book first. It’s a 1992 book, and I think, the first of this author’s books. He writes an LA detective genre book about the maverick detective Harry Bosch who has a beautiful FBI counterpart in Eleanor Wish (I wish). They are working to solve crimes that date back to the 70s, but crimes that have a current impact on the Vietnamese community of LA. So there are frequent references to war and crime in Vietnam in the 60’s and 70’s, something I know too much about as the result of having done my residency training in psychiatry at several VA hospitals around the country in the immediate post-Vietnam era. So, this author is in a class under Daniel Silva, Cussler, and Rosenberg, but a better writer than Brad Thor.
