Lost Light - Michael Connelly

If you take a saucepan full of sea water and let it boil slowly you will notice that water starts to evaporate. As the water level falls there will appear a crusty white (or greyish) residue that sticks to the bottom of the pan. Eventually all that will be left is this solid; all the liquid will be gone. Congratulations you have just produced sea salt. You have managed to distil sea water down to what you really want - salt.

For anyone who is a fan of Micheal Connelly or Harry Bosch, this book will be gratefully received. I can truthfully say that it was one of those reads that I could not put down (at least until I had finished it which was disappointing).
