After an epic and interrupted journey all the way from the snows of South Dakota, Jack Reacher has finally made it to Virginia. His destination: a sturdy stone building a short bus ride from Washington DC, the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. It was the closest thing to a home he ever had.
Why? He wants to meet the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner. He liked her voice on the phone. But the officer sitting behind Reacher's old desk isn't a woman. Why is Susan Turner not there?
What Reacher doesn't expect is what comes next. He himself is in big trouble, accused of a sixteen-year-old homicide. And he certainly doesn't expect to hear these words:' You're back in the army, Major. And your ass is mine.'
Will he be sorry he went back? Or - will someone else?

Or because the three are now four? Is Reacher a decoy?

А на перемене и после уроков вокруг ходят, как волки, страшные, накачанные старшеклассники. Девчонки только и глядят, что на малюсенький, вскочивший за ухом прыщик. Глядят и хихикают. Да и вообще, все смеются только над тобой. Никто не понимает: ни родители, ни даже самые близкие друзья! Хочешь футбольные бутсы, а тебе дарят умные книжки или - кошмар! - "приличный" костюм.

На самом деле тихий городок уже давно находится в состоянии войны. Богатые конфликтуют с бедными, подростки — с родителями, жёны — с мужьями, учителя — с учениками… Пэгфорд не такой, каким кажется на первый взгляд.
Но освободившееся кресло в местном совете только обостряет все эти конфликты и грозит привести к такой войне, которой ещё не видел маленький городок. Кто сумеет победить на выборах, наполненных страстью, двуличием и неожиданными разоблачениями?

In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved.

Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.

Riveting and relentlessly paced, THE BLACK BOX leads Harry Bosch, "one of the greats of crime fiction" (New York Daily News), into one of his most fraught and perilous cases.

Тело судьи и труп его секретарши обнаружили в домике у озера, причем следы взлома и борьбы отсутствовали. А еще в хижине обнаружили настежь распахнутый, пустой сейф...
Кто убил Фосетта и почему? И что хранилось в сейфе?
Ответы на эти вопросы, похоже, знает лишь один человек - заключенный лагеря в штате Мэриленд Малкольм Баннистер, бывший адвокат, осужденный за то, чего не совершал.
Баннистер готов помочь агентам ФБР, предоставив им информацию. Но за помощь он требует слишком много. И к тому же не понятно, можно ли вообще ему доверять...
