Los Angeles has a way of keeping its dead close, and the men sent to make sense of them rarely escape unmarked. Here are two of crime fiction's great investigators: Harry Bosch, stubborn and solitary, and Terry McCaleb, a profiler living on a borrowed heart. Read them in turn and watch their paths converge in ways neither man would welcome. Settle in and lock the doors.
Michael Connelly, 'Blood Work' - Retired FBI profiler Terry McCaleb is still recovering from a heart transplant when Graciela Rivers asks him to find out who killed her sister Gloria in a convenience store robbery, and the heart beating in his chest was Gloria's.
Michael Connelly, 'The Black Ice' - On Christmas night, the body of missing narcotics officer Cal Moore turns up in a motel, apparently by his own hand, and Harry Bosch ignores orders to stay away, following a trail of a new drug called black ice across the border to Mexicali.
Michael Connelly, 'A Darkness More Than Night' - Coaxed away from his fishing charter on Catalina Island to review a ritualistic killing, Terry McCaleb finds the evidence pointing at the last man he expected: Harry Bosch, already a key witness in a film director's murder trial.
