What this book is about
Harry Bosch returns from retirement to the LAPD's Open Unsolved Unit, paired with Kizmin Rider. Their first case is a sixteen-year-old murder of a high school girl — a case whose evidence is more complicated than it first appears. Connelly's eleventh Bosch novel is also the first in the Open Unsolved era, establishing a quieter, more procedurally focused Bosch against the backdrop of post-9/11 LAPD politics.
