What this book is about
Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD but cannot leave a case behind: the murder of a film set assistant that was overtaken by events after the September 11th attacks. Now a private investigator, Bosch follows the trail without backup or official sanction — and discovers the FBI's entanglement in the original investigation. The ninth Harry Bosch novel is a meditation on justice pursued outside institutional boundaries.
