As always, I enjoyed this book. I've a vague idea I might have read it many years ago although couldn't ind any record of that. It was first published in 1992 and I had immediately prior read another Connelly published much later. This one struck me as much tighter and extra enjoyable for that reason.

Brief synopsis thanks to goodreads
For maverick Lapd homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal...because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit. Pitted against enemies inside his own department and forced to make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, Bosch goes on the hunt for a killer whose true face will shock him.

Another cracker-jack story by one of my favourite authors.
If you don't know Michael then it is time you did.

Picked up at the March BX Wellington Meetup at Trax.
Have just finished the latest Harry Bosch (now retired and working cold cases) "Dark Sacred Night", so looking forward to this earlier one.

Enjoyed this earlier book - Harry is just as stroppy as he is later in his career. Having crawled along the Cu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) a few years ago, I got even more out of those descriptions and an appreciation from the American point of view. When you are down there, you appreciate the inventiveness and bravery of the Viet Cong.

Will be left on the Bookcrossing shelf next to the ticket office.
