Simply put, any time Michael Connelly releases a new book, it is the "tip of the ice pick." Connelly is among the best of the current crop of mystery novelists, and A Darkness More Than Night (audio) does nothing to tarnish his reputation. World-weary L.A. police detective Harry Bosch is back for an encore performance, and there is a much-welcomed visit from retired FBI-guy Terry McCaleb. McCaleb has retired to an idyllic sailor's life on Catalina Island, a far cry from his days as an FBI profiler. Drawn out of retirement against his will, he profiles a murderer for a friend on the Los Angeles police force. The deeper he investigates, the more he becomes convinced that the evidence points to none other than Harry Bosch. In a brilliant move, Connelly pits his two most popular heroes against one another, and the loser may wind up in jail or dead. Count on Connelly to set the standard by which crisp suspense prose is measured.Copyright 20001 BookPage Reviews

When Terrence McCabe investigates a series of ritualized killings for the LAPD, he is horrified when his prime suspect turns out to be Connelly regular Detective Harry Bosch. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information. - School Library Journal Reviews : SLJ Reviews 2001 June
Adult/High School-Harry Bosch, the worn, pragmatic Los Angeles police detective, protagonist of a number of Connelly's earlier books, is joined by Terry McCaleb, former FBI crime-scene profiler, introduced in Blood Work (Little, Brown, 1998). Harry is immersed in testifying at the murder trial of a Hollywood film director, Jack Storey. When McCaleb, retired and living a quiet life with a new wife and two young children, is asked by a former colleague to look at the investigation materials of a recent gruesome homicide, he realizes just how much he misses his vocation. Terry alone has noticed some clues from the crime-scene video that point toward the influence of Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch. Despite pleas from his wife, Terry is drawn into the investigation and finds, to his dismay, that pointers lead straight to acquaintance Harry Bosch, whose real name is Hieronymus. Certain details in Harry's life fit in well with the profile Terry is developing of a ritualistic killer. The clues stemming from Bosch's paintings may lead readers straight to the Internet to view some of Bosch's well-known works to see the clues for themselves. The plot is intricate, and the twists and turns keep coming, but it is so well done, and the characters are so vivid, that confusion isn't a problem. Despite its length, this involving book is a fast read with "can't put it down" appeal.-Carol DeAngelo, Kings Park Library, Burke, VA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
