The Dollmaker was the name of the serial killer who had stalked Los Angeles ruthlessly, leaving grisly calling cards on the faces of his victims. Now, with a single faultless shot, Harry Bosch thinks he has ended the city's nightmare.
But the dead man's widow is suing Harry and the LAPD for killing the wrong man - an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature.
So, for the second time, Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive, before he strikes again. It's a blood-tracked quest that will take Harry from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go - the darkness of his own heart.

Damn that Michael Connelly. I stayed up reading until 2:30 in the morning because I wanted to finish 'The Concrete Blonde'. In Harry Bosch's third adventure in the series, the detective is standing trial for his actions in killing a serial killer four years earlier. When the police receive a note from the supposedly dead killer, it throws Bosch's world into utter chaos. He's certain that the Dollmaker was the guilty party, but how do they explain the new note with directions to the discovery of another victim buried in concrete?The story takes place in 1994 Los Angeles when the 1991 Rodney King beating by police and the ensuing 1992 riots are still fresh in the city's minds. Police conduct is being held under a constant microscope. It was a time when plenty of people smoked and driving while drunk didn't seem to be that big a deal. Bosch has been a loner most of his life but, in this story, finds himself in an intimate relationship with a woman whose husband was murdered in the previous Harry Bosch mystery entitled 'The Black Ice'. Struggling with multiple murder suspects, the porno industry, a complex romantic relationship, police politics and a gripping court room drama delivers a hard-to-put-down novel. Also, Mr. Connelly's cynical presentation of the legal system would've made Charles Dickens proud. There were times when I thought some of the situations wouldn't have been so stressful in the story if everyone back then had cell phones like we do today.
It is not necessary to have read the two previous works entitled 'The Black Echo' and 'The Black Ice' but would help you in getting a better understanding of what makes Harry Bosch tick. The ex-reporter turned author does an excellent job of keeping the reader guessing and on the edge of their seats until the very end. Being a recent reader of the Harry Bosch series, I can see why Mr. Connelly's protagonist is so popular.

The Concrete Blonde Harry Bosch Series Book 3 (Audible Audio Edition) Michael Connelly Dick Hill Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
One of the best Harry Bosch novels. The book has a lot going on which all ties together very well at the end. The author has given a good deal of thought to this book.
We have Harry on trial for overstepping police procedure regarding a possible serial killer. As the trial goes on, Harry sets about trying to find if there was one or more killers running around committing the same type of crime.
When Harry figures he has the bad guys and crimes figured out, circumstances change more than once.
Harry’s an entertaining main character to begin with. He’s also a bit of an enigma when it comes to his girlfriend; she creates personal problems for him in addition to his professional problems. Harry’s getting hit from all sides with problems and prejudices. He also needs to deal with a nice share of twists provided by Mr. Connelly.
Its an entertaining, well written read from start to finish and wastes no time becoming bogged down with unnecessary fluff.
I saw the Young Hornblower series on public TV. That led me to finally read a Hornblower book. I read them all in order and when I finished the last one , I started again at the beginning and read them all again. I've read them all in order three times now.
Then I saw the Sharpe's Rifles series on PBS. I started reading all the Cornwell series and independent novels. I read all the Sharpe novels, many several times. I've read them all.
I seem to see the TV show especially Brtish TV shows and get started on the book series about the Neapolitanic Wars. What was going on?
Now I can relax. Bosch isn't British but i'm totally hooked on these novels. I've only read three so far but I have seen my doom. I will read all of them - probably more than once. Oh well, at least I know where I'll be and what I'll be doing this next year.
My advice to others. Get a good chair. Connelly writes 500 page novels and It's very damn hard to keep from reading them in one sitting. I fall sleep in my reading chair and start reading again when I wake up.
Connelly is easily my favorite author!!! I have read everything since The Lincoln Lawyer and have dipped back to his earlier works as well. The cover and the title of The Concrete Blonde have intrigued me for years, but I had never quite gotten to it until now.
The third in the Bosch series finds Bosch on trial for wrongfully killing The Dollmaker, a serial killler who preyed on prostitutes and porn actresses in Los Angeles. During his trial (four years after the kill), a new victim is discovered that casts doubt on whether Bosch killed the wrong man. From there, the plot twists and turns as the trial continues and a concurrent investigation tries to figure out the truth about The Dollmaker.
To say more would be a spoiler, but I can say that this is one of the very best in an excellent body of work from Michael Connelly--the best crime fiction writer ever.
I read this a long time ago. It was great then, but it was so much better when I re-read it it order. I got the Bosch bug again watching the series online. I thought that I had all of the books, so I started reading them again from the beginning. The author ties the plotline to real events to provide a real time reference to the plot. The plot is filled with a lot of subtle undercurrents, station politics, department politics, that are thematic and indicative of Bosch's struggle with the establishment and how it operates. If one thing ties all of the Bosch novels together it's the man-on-the-outside struggle against the political powers in the department and LA government. There are others, too, like Jazz. If you've ever been curious about the music Bosch listens to, check it out. I've found tons of it available on Prime Music.
