What this book is about
The 19th Harry Bosch novel (2014) opens with a cold case becoming active — a man shot nine years ago in what appeared to be a drive-by finally succumbs to his wound. As Bosch investigates with a new partner, the case leads to corruption, politics, and a crime with far deeper roots. One of the series' most procedurally satisfying entries.
