What the coroner is ready to write off as an ordinary overdose turns personal the moment LAPD homicide detective Bosch recognizes the dead man: Billy Meadows, a fellow \"tunnel rat\" who fought beside him in the claustrophobic tunnels of the Vietnam War.\n\nConvinced the death was murder, Bosch follows a trail that leads to an audacious bank-vault burglary tunneled from below — a crime that draws in the FBI and forces him into an uneasy partnership with Special Agent Eleanor Wish. As the two dig into the war-scarred past that links the victim to a small circle of veterans, Bosch also has to fend off Internal Affairs officers who would happily end his career.\n\nWinner of the Edgar Award for Best First Novel, The Black Echo introduces Hieronymus \"Harry\" Bosch, a stubborn, wounded investigator who lives by a single rule: everybody counts, or nobody counts.

Suspicion falls immediately on the Colony — a reclusive group of vampires who have lived on the town's fringes for generations, and who were blamed for a nearly identical killing twenty-five years earlier.\n\nDetective Barbara Atkins arrives from the Forensic Vampyr Anthropology Department to determine whether the Colony is truly responsible or being scapegoated. In a world where vampire colonies are protected by law — and can only be culled if proven a threat to human life — the stakes of her verdict are enormous. Teaming up with Jenson Tucker, the town's disgraced former sheriff, Atkins works against mounting hostility, old grievances, and a rising body count.\n\nAs a brutal storm threatens to cut Deadhart off from the outside world, the tension between the townspeople and the Colony edges toward violence. C.J. Tudor reworks vampire mythology into a taut, atmospheric murder mystery about prejudice, fear of the outsider, and who the real monsters are.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kt96xnh5wvybztfqvf647php.jpg?v=7955f018af","LBL2bsRQ4:x]00xZoIIo4RS#R*$j","4.25",353,[702],{"id":411,"slug":412,"name":413},[704,705,706,707,711,712,716],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":419,"name":420,"slug":421,"is_fiction":21},{"id":708,"name":709,"slug":710,"is_fiction":21},52,"Paranormal Horror","paranormal-horror",{"id":424,"name":425,"slug":426,"is_fiction":21},{"id":713,"name":714,"slug":715,"is_fiction":21},216,"Vampire","vampire",{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":74,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":719,"themes":720,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[80,79,157,390,156],[],{"id":722,"slug":723,"title":724,"description":725,"primary_cover_url":726,"cover_blurhash":727,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":371,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":7,"authors":728,"genres":733,"series":738,"enrichment":743},"01kxej7jykrpzjx5s6qmn5e75j","when-im-dead-dexn","When I'm Dead","On a cold October night in Black Harbor, Wisconsin, medical examiner Rowan Winthorp is called to the death of a teenage girl and recognizes the victim: Madison Caldwell, her daughter's best friend. Hours later the case stops being professional. Rowan's daughter Chloe never comes home from her school play, and the police begin to treat her less as a missing girl than as a suspect.\n\nWhen a second classmate is killed, it becomes clear that someone is working through Chloe's circle. Rowan and her husband, an investigator on the case, are forced to reconstruct a daughter they are no longer sure they knew — the rumours that followed her, the adults in her life, the things she never said at home.\n\nHannah Morrissey's third Black Harbor novel keeps the series' bleak, snowbound atmosphere and its interest in what police work costs the people who do it. The mystery stands on its own, though returning readers will recognize the town and several of its investigators.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxej7jznpqeejx2ggnnz5bvz.jpg?v=f1b0b3c383","LK9l2qtkM|oz*0n}i_ayVYaKsTa#",[729],{"id":730,"slug":731,"name":732},"01kxej7jz51asmvwk8knp6np5f","hannah-morrissey-hium","Hannah Morrissey",[734,735,736,737],{"id":424,"name":425,"slug":426,"is_fiction":21},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},[739],{"id":740,"slug":741,"name":742,"position":371,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kxeqhst82pnyg6zp5ndvkptw","black-harbor-qdm9","Black Harbor",{"pace":74,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":744,"themes":745,"setting_period":7,"summary":746,"content_warnings":7},[80,79,156,390],[232,392],"Medical examiner Rowan Winthorp works the murder of her daughter's best friend — then discovers her own daughter has vanished.

A case which will shake her world and pit her in a race against time to stop a psychotic killer. Going into this book, I expected a riveting page turner. Arnold did not disappoint.\n\nDetective Steele attempts to make use of her rare day off. However, as someone who loves her work and can’t wait to sink her teeth into a homicide investigation, she is restless. So when her niece calls her about a possible missing person, she drops everything and went running. Although missing persons is not in her job description, she along with her partner investigates. Soon, what began as a search for a missing person became a homicide investigation.\n\nThis case hits quite close to home for Amanda. It has also stirred up some painful memories. However, being the strong woman she is, she pushed through. Amanda continues to grow and in this installment we see her taking a second chance on love. Although I am happy she’s ready to move on in the relationship department, I am not too keen on the person she is with. They have absolutely no chemistry together. She continues to juggle being a single mother with her job.
