I'm curious about the distance. I read an interview that you
did in '99 I believe where you said you'd like to do maybe
another half dozen Bosch novels.
in a later interview, circa '02 or '03, you said pretty
much the same thing.
I'm not taking you to task for it. on the
contrary, I'm delighted you're able to keep finding stories
to tell, and not only maintain the quality, but even expand
it
in The Black Ice however, you peg Bosch's year of birth as
1950, making him 58 this year. I don't know if LAPD has
mandatory retirement at a certain age.
you've had Bosch retire from the police force and
continue his personal mission once already
so I guess what my question is, do you now have an actual end
of the series in mind? and if so, are you working toward that
end?
