Product Information

Para ser el primer libro, es bastante bueno y se entiende perfectamente el éxito que ha ido cosechando el autor desde estos primeros libros. Sin ninguna duda, esta serie pasa a formar parte de mis futuras lecturas, entre las que la iré dosificando poco a poco. The second one involves Harry doing something very stupid and later you realize that Connelly only had him do it for the sake of setting up a climactic scene near the end. Harry figures out the identity of an inside man in law enforcement while they’re staking out another potential bank robbery. The obvious and smart thing to do would be to play it cool, alert the other cops quietly and get some people working on bringing him in and trying to find out what he knows. Instead, Harry runs to a pay phone (Yet another dated element.) and calls the guy just so he can tell him that he knows. Why? There’s nothing to be gained, and all he’s done is warn the bad guy. Later, I realized that Connelly wanted Harry and this character to have a big final confrontation, and he needed to have the bad guy know that Harry was onto him. Rather than coming up with some clever plot point to make this happen, Connelly just has his hero go tell the bad guy for no reason whatsoever. Lazy. Very lazy. El humor no lo ha visto ni de lejos. Ni en pensamientos ni en expresiones (estoooooo, no soy Sir Terry pero algo de eso tengo en mi vida). Pues con Harry Bosch no he encontrado nada de eso. Tb decir que no soy ningún fiera del género. Ejemplos para que veáis mis gustos en el género y por ello si s podéis fiar o no de mis estrellas: PREMIUM ARTICULATION AND DETAILING: Star Wars fans and collectors can display this fully articulated figure featuring poseable head, arms, and legs, as well as premium deco, in their collection

While this was certainly entertaining and fun, and Bosch is a charismatic detective, mixing elements of the hard-boiled investigator with a modern day, cagey world weariness, this made me think of watching film of a very young athlete who would one day become a hall of famer. Connelly’s later work is more polished, his structure more detailed and his characterizations more defined. As good as it is, this still reads like a debut novel from a talented but still very new author. He will be able to pull the trigger. In fact, his conversation reveals no ill effects at all from the shooting, unless his sense of satisfaction with the outcome of the incident—the suspect's death—should be deemed inappropriate’” Anonymous rhymes with Hieronymus, Bosch tells us. Mother liked the old Dutch painter, so why not? Bosch, ma’am. Hieronymus Bosch. Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as Bond – James Bond, does it?

Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and more from the animated series join the action figure line celebrating Lucasfilm's 50th anniversary.

Suicide Run"(2007) in Suicide Run: Three Harry Bosch Stories, 2011 was moved from 17.5 to 11.6 & then to 5.5. Harry is working with Edgar out of the Hollywood division & Kiz Rider is a lab tech. (Thanks, John!)

Me encantó el personaje de Harry Bosch, así como el estilo de Connelly. Excelentes descripciones y muy fáciles de seguir, por lo que no se pierde el ritmo de la lectura en ningún momento, a diferencia de lo que me ha pasado con varios otros autores, que precisamente se caen al momento de describir las escenas de acción. Realmente me entretuve mucho. StarWars.com: Clone Pilot Hawk has a wonderfully unique helmet design. What challenges did you run into translating the animated style for the character's gear into an action figure? STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH: Fans and collectors can imagine scenes from the Star Wars Galaxy with this premium Echo toy, inspired by the Star Wars: The Bad Batch series (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.)Published in 1992, this is the book that introduced L.A.P.D. homicide detective, Harry Bosch. The series, which runs twenty-four books thus far, has remained strong throughout and is, almost certainly, the gold standard of modern police procedurals. Chasing the Dime (per John (see comment 14 below) ...The Detective (not the main character) is Robert Renner. He later appears in The Closers where he works with Harry in Open-Unsolved. Janis Langwiser, an Assistant DA in Angels Flight and A Darkness More Than Night, is a defense attorney in this book. She was Harry's defense attorney in Lost Light. One other minor mentions is the main character's sister, who was a victim of Norman Church in The Concrete Blonde. The story happens in September 2002...) Evidentemente este primer libro no es totalmente redondo, empieza a perfilarse nuestro protagonista, Harry Bosch (Hieronymus, como el pintor, realmente, pincelada de humor americano). Acosado por las consecuencias de un caso anterior, ha sido "desterrado" de la Brigada Especial de Homicidios al Departamento de Homicidios y Robos de la Policía de Hollywood en Los Ángeles. Solitario, insomne y un poco amargado, se encuentra con un caso que lo retrotrae a su terrible pasado en la Guerra de Vietnam, como soldado especializado en el rastreo de túneles del Vietcong. A partir de este punto, se despliega toda una trama investigadora, en general bien hilada, con partes en las que se pierde un poco el interés y la intensidad de la investigación (supongo que esto irá mejorando en los siguientes libros), en la que tendrá que enfrentarse a sus propios demonios y donde todo el mundo parece tener algo que ocultar. Este libro fue escrito en 1992 (hace caso 30 años), es decir, en la era pre-móvil, es muy llamativo como se tienen que ir apañando los investigadores, buscado cabinas telefónicas, con avisos al busca y dejándose mensajes. Qué rápido ha pasado el tiempo y como ha cambiado la tecnología. Otro de los puntos fuertes de empezar la serie por el principio será ver como se van adaptando los investigadores a los nuevos tiempos y a las nuevas tecnologías (el último libro de la serie salió en 2019). Michael Connelly displays his considerable skill immediately. As the detective on call, Bosch is summoned a reservoir where a junkie has overdosed in a three-foot-wide pipe. Immediately Connelly establishes character, mood, and a sense of scene. And he also understands the general rule concerning the use of coincidence: once per story and as close to the beginning as possible. Connelly breaks the former but the reader doesn’t mind. The second coincidence is to bypass the boredom inherent in routine investigation. The first is to establish a personal connection to the case for Bosch. He recognizes the victim as someone with whom he had served in Vietnam. Again, Connelly wisely has Bosch discover signs questioning the accidental OD before he discovers the identity of the corpse.

Sin embargo, me llevé una gratísima sorpresa. Además de introducirnos en el universo de Harry Bosch (que va por su novela 27), personaje fetiche de Michael Connelly, El eco negro es una novela increíblemente bien estructurada, donde todo cuadra perfectamente al llegar a las últimas páginas, en un final realmente impactante e inesperado. One cop's word against another's was something they wouldn't touch in this department. Deep down, they knew a cop's word by itself was worthless. That was why Internal Affairs cops always worked in pairs.” Expected availability date may be subject to change, items may arrive earlier or later than anticipated without notice.

Entre las cosas que menos me han gustado, está el tema de Asuntos internos, cuyo ensañamiento en perseguir a Harry roza casi el esperpento y que, aunque están bastante bien integrados en la trama, en algunos momentos la hacen poco creíble. Al final todo queda bien resuelto en un desenlace bastante previsible. Harry’s a Vietnam vet, suffers badly, sleeps poorly, enjoys a drink, and lives on coffee and cigarettes. So he’s ready to go see a body anytime, day or night. Is he okay? The psych evaluation after his shooting seems to hedge its bets. SÍ me gustan Camilleri, Gómez Jurado, Lorenzo Silva, Winslow, Eva García, Follett, Le Carré, Carmen Mola, Forsyth, Barker, Géllida, Kerr, Larsson, Redondo (alguno), Rosa Montero, Zafón. For Harry, it's often a pretty lonely road in a department that basically seems to be filled with self-serving cops and bureaucrats who are much less interested in serving justice than they are in achieving their own ends. For example, Harry's partner has a side career in real estate and makes it very clear that the real estate job is much more important to him than being a cop. All he wants to do is put in his twenty years, collect his pension, and go into real estate full time. And if one of his current jobs gets in the way of the other, more likely it will be the police work that suffers. There was a section in the middle where I worried we were going to get bogged down in the logistics of the rather complicated operation of smoking out the bad guys, so to speak, but then the action ramped up, and it soon became clear why things were spelled out.

It’s an event enjoyed by both die hard fans and families alike and has raised thousands of pounds for charity. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you.

Product Added

Premium articulation and detailing: Star Wars fans and collectors can display this fully articulated figure featuring poseable head, arms, and legs, as well as premium deco, in their collection. The book opens with a young kid tagging a big pipe in the middle of the night when he hears a vehicle and hides in time to see someone drag a body into the pipe. He makes an anonymous call to the cops and hightails it out of there. Dead body. Punto adicional por la sensación vintage que se produce al leer esta novela 25 años después de su primera publicación (máquinas de escribir, bíper, teléfonos públicos, fumar en las oficinas) y por abordar el triste panorama que tuvieron que enfrentar los veteranos de Vietnam. Overall, while Harry Bosch is no Matt Scudder, I'd say it's not a bad series to break up my fantasy and sci-fi reads. We'll see if it follows the Spencer pattern of going downhill once Connelly achieves mass-market success.
