* TechnologyMarchesOn: Practically every time computers or digital cameras are mentioned. Gladden makes bail and escapes a return to prison because the Santa Monica PD doesn't have a computer to run his prints and has to hand-carry the prints to the LAPD. Gladden then longs on to the internet and compares the squealing noise of a cellular modem to a devil plunging into hell. An FBI agent takes photos of a corpse with a Polaroid camera that spits out prints. The ''Rocky'' has just started experimenting with digital cameras. A crucial plot point, in fact the solution to the mystery, turns on an anonymous note the SerialKiller sends to the FBI--by fax. The topper, though, is probably from Thorson telling Jack about the "first digital bust" ever made:

* CharacterNarrator: In the usual sense, but also in a meta sense: The audiobooks of the Harry Bosch novels had all been narrated by Dick Hill.
