Cauces de maldad (Spanish Edition)

There's a gravitas to the mystery/thrillers of Connelly that sets his work apart and above that of many of his contemporaries. That gravitas is in full force in Connelly's newest, [which] supports a dynamite plot, fully flowered characters, and a meticulous attention to the details of investigative procedure. The first-person sections are narrated by [retired L.A. homicide cop Harry] Bosch, who agrees as a favor to the widow to investigate the death of Bosch's erstwhile colleague and friend Terry McCaleb. Bosch's digging brings him into contact with Rachel Walling, the FBI agent heroine, and the third-person narrative concerns mostly her. Though generally presumed dead, the Poet, the serial killer who was a highly placed Fed and Walling's mentor, is alive and killing anew, with McCaleb among his victims and his sights now set on Walling. Connelly is a master and this novel is yet another of his masterpieces. [PW 4/12/04; starred]
