On New Year's Day, a dog finds a bone in the Hollywood Hills--and unearths a murder committed more than twenty years earlier. It's a cold case, but for Detective Harry Bosch, it stirs up memories of his childhood as an orphan. He can't let it go. As the investigation takes Bosch deeper into the past, a beautiful rookie cop brings him alive in the present. No official warning can break them apart--or prepare Bosch for the explosions when the case takes a few hard turns. Suddenly all of L.A. is in an uproar, and Bosch, fighting to keep control, is driven to the brink of an unimaginable decision.

I haven't read a Bosch series novel I didn't enjoy. There is always just the right amount of every emotion conveyed.

It's fascinating to me how the Bosch character can come across as having such a different personality depending who the reader is. I wonder if some of it might be inconsistencies in the writing, but it is hard for me to tell. Any way you cut, regardless of the reader's interpretation presented through tone and emphasis, Bosch is the architypal anti-hero that resonates so deeply with me, and I suspect with virtually everyone. Connelly does his homework and brings a gripping, multilayer story every time in this series.

Awesome

Lots of twists in the story- kept me guessing. I absolutely HATE background music! Narration was good, but added music detracts from the story

Stop the Music!

Another great story but I have to say the background music was a distraction multiple times.

Great Story
