Interesting novel, #Ironwood. Michael Connelly is ace on current events & police procedure, so it's a win-win. Catalina Island is a fascinating place. #sentenceoftheday #booksky "Avalon had once made its citizens use salt water in their toilets, but the pipes started rusting out & sewage leaked ..."
