About this listen

 FBI agent Rachel Walling finally gets the call she's dreaded for years, the one that tells her the Poet has surfaced. She has never forgotten the serial killer who wove lines of poetry in his hideous crimes--and apparently he has not forgotten her.
Former LAPD detective Harry Bosch gets a call, too--from the widow of an old friend. Her husband's death seems natural, but his ties to the hunt for the Poet make Bosch dig deep. Arriving at a derelict spot in the California desert where the feds are unearthing bodies, Bosch joins forces with Rachel. Now the two are at odds with the FBI...and squarely in the path of the Poet, who will lead them on a wicked ride out of the heat, through the narrows of evil, and into a darkness all his own...©Hieronymus, Inc.; (P)2004 Time Warner AudioBooks Crime Crime Fiction Fiction Hard-Boiled Legal Mystery Police Procedural Suspense Thriller Thriller & Suspense Detective Murder Exciting Scary

Follow-up to The Poet. Probably not as good, but still very entertaining. The performance is also excellent. That’s what imagine Harry Bosch’s inner voice to sound like.

Great book, great delivery

Wow, finished this in 2 days! I waited a month for a new Audible credit so I could buy the next Bosch book in the series and I finished it in 2 days! Lol! Oh well, guess I was eager.

What can I say without spoiling something? I guess it was a good thing I read Blood Work and The Poet because this was very good. We meet FBI agent Rachel Walling again, who is being unofficially penalized for having a relationship with Jack McAvoy, the reporter. Of all the professions with which to have a relationship, apparently the reporter is the worst when it comes to the FBI.

Bosch gets pulled into this story as a private citizen/ P.I. hired by an old friend’s wife. He and Rachel battle the FBI while trying to make headway in a related old case.

Lots of action but I was a bit tired of some the same characters and same criminal as we had in a previous story. I didn’t need more of them. Less mystery here because we know whodunnit. But it was pretty good.

Len Cariou narrated again and he was great.

Recommended for Bosch fans.

Great story; Poor ending. It is too bad, the time committed isn’t worth the ending; was really weak.
