It had been Bosch's experience that when you looked back at a life, you used a magnifying glass. Everything was bigger, amplified. A college tryst could become the love of a lifetime in memory.

"Actually, no, she doesn't really need to talk," Bosch said. "She's going to college in September down at Chapman in Orange." "Good school. What's she going to study?"

My favourite quotes, Part Two -- from Michael Connelly's "Harry Bosch" series The Black Box On Bosch's first call to Henrik, the twin brother of Anneke - Henrik: "I am happy to talk now. Please, go ahead." "Thank you. I, uh, first want to say as I said in my email that the investigation of your sister's death is high priority. I am actively working on it. Though it was twenty years ago, I'm sure your sister's death is something that hu..

They were going through the Cahuenga Pass. Bosch looked out his window and up the hillside, searching for his house nestled in among the others in the folds of the mountain. He thought he saw a glimpse of the back deck sticking out over the brown brush.

One thing will lead to another and we'll have our media-manufactured riot."
