Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But his first case is a little more than he bargained for.
It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range – what looks like “trunk music,” a Mafia hit. But the LAPD’s organized crime unit is curiously … uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail of gambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex – and much more personal.
A rekindled romance with an old girlfriend opens new perspectives on the murder, and he begins to glimpse a shocking triangle of corruption and collusion. Yanked off the case, Harry himself is soon the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harry when he’s searching for the truth…

Classic Michael Connelly!
Mr. Connelly never disappoints.
I am a fan of Michael Connelly’s work and this was the second novel of his I read, after blood work. Nuanced views of law enforcement with interesting plots and realistic characters are his signature.
Another classic in the Harry Bosch series. This story is also well done in the TV series, Bosch.
Harry Bosch is a great cop. He works for the victim to find out who did it to them. He has heart. he doesn’t play politics. If the victim was a hooker or homeless it doesn’t matter. Harry will find the perp. He is a bulldog.
one of the best writers today
Harry Bosch is a complex, very human, quirky protagonist, with a sense of humor and just the right amount of cynicism to make him believable as an LA police detective. Connolly’s plots always have interesting and well-drawn characters in realistic plots with believable solutions.
Wow this book may be the best one. Highly recommend it and All his books.
