"This is the first Michael Connelly's novels featuring Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch – a Los Angeles Police Department detective. Throughout the series we constantly learn more about his character and philosophy of life. For example, the single-bullet-theory--"Everybody's got one person out there. One bullet. And if you're lucky in life, you get to meet that person. And once you do, once you're shot through the heart, then there's nobody else. No matter what happens - death, divorce, infidelity, whatever - nobody else can ever come close. That's the single bullet theory."--reoccurs in several novels, each time with subtle differences. "

"The 1st in the Walt Longmire series and is also the author's first novel. Read it and you'll be hungering for the next five (so far) in this excellent series.
