- Fight Club : [electronic resource] : A Novel. by Palahniuk, Chuck.;
The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club. Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation's most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Club's estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basement of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.Electronic reproduction.- Subjects: Electronic books.; Fiction.; Literature.;

- The black box [sound recording] / by Connelly, Michael,1956-; McConnohie, Michael.;
Reading by Michael McConnohie of the 2012 book.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.Executive producer, Michele McGonigle ; produced and directed by Dennis Kao ; mixing and mastering by John Kovarek.- Subjects: Bosch, Harry (Fictitious character); Police; Women photographers; Cold cases (Criminal investigation); Murder; Suspense / Thriller.;
