Publisher's Summary

Detective Harry Bosch and his new partner investigate a recent murder where the trigger was pulled nine years earlier.

In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but all other evidence is virtually nonexistent.

Now Bosch and rookie Detective Lucia Soto are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Beginning with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which soon reveal that this shooting may have been anything but random.

In this gripping new novel, Michael Connelly shows once again why Harry Bosch is "one of the greats of crime fiction" (New York Daily News).

What the critics say

"Connelly proves again that neither he nor Bosch has lost his touch." (Christian DuChateau, CNN)

"Bosch has become one of the most popular and enduring figures in American crime fiction." (Kevin Nance, Chicago Tribune)

"Bosch has become Mr. Connelly's most durable, well-entrenched creation." (Janet Maslin, New York Times)

"As the new voice of Harry Bosch in this nineteenth volume of the series, Titus Welliver brings some formidable skills to the narration. His deep, resonant voice fits the atmosphere and the vocalization of Bosch, and his pacing makes the story accessible even for new listeners. A slightly raised pitch makes the female voices pleasant and believable, as do the subtle Mexican accents he gives several characters." (AudioFile)

A ripping good yarn!

This is one of the better mysteries I have listened to lately! Titus Welliver is a great actor with many different voices. The storylines are wrapped up cleverly and are satisfying to the end.

Not His Best

I did not enjoy this as much as all of the earlier works. I bought it in the order of publication and it was a bit disappointing.

Narration was perfect!

Titus Welliver is an amazing narrator... his accents are bang on. I was so excited to start this book when I saw he would be speaking!

dont get excited about titus reading

was kind of looking forward to hearing Titus narrate this book as he plays a great Bosch on tv but his voice is so monotone and hard to not fall asleep, where is Len Cariou he was the best narrator for Michael Connelly
