In the new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling
author Michael Connelly, Detective Harry Bosch and his
rookie partner investigate a cold case that gets very hot...
very fast.
In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims
die a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to
complications from being shot by a stray bullet ten years
earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still
fresh, but any other clues are virtually nonexistent. Even a
veteran cop would find this one tough going, but Bosch's new
partner, Detective Lucia Soto, has no homicide experience. A
young star in the department, Soto has been assigned to
Bosch so that he can pass on to her his hard-won expertise.
Now Bosch and Soto are tasked with solving a murder that
turns out to be highly charged and politically sensitive.
Beginning with the bullet that has been lodged for years in
the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old
evidence, and these soon reveal that the shooting was
anything but random.
As their investigation picks up speed, it leads to another
unsolved case with even greater stakes: the deaths of
several children in a fire that occurred twenty years ago.
But when their work starts to threaten careers and lives,
Bosch and Soto must decide whether it is worth risking
everything to find the truth, or if it's safer to let some
secrets stay buried.
