Summary
Summary
A #1 New York Times bestseller
A USA Today bestseller
He walked away from the job three years ago. But Harry Bosch cannot resist the call to join the elite Open/Unsolved Unit. His mission: solve murders whose investigations were flawed, stalled, or abandoned to L.A.'s tides of crime. With some people openly rooting for his failure, Harry catches the case of a teenager dragged off to her death on Oat Mountain, and traces the DNA on the murder weapon to a small-time criminal. But something bigger and darker beckons, and Harry must battle to fit all the pieces together. Shaking cages and rattling ghosts, he will push the rules to the limit -- and expose the kind of truth that shatters lives, ends careers, and keeps the dead whispering in the night . . .
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This book is a prime example of just how brilliant the mystery genre has become. Characters here are vividly brought to life. The descriptions provide true-to-life portrayals of Los Angeles and its often-troubled police department. The internal political battles ring true, and the suspense keeps readers turning pages.” —Forbes
“Like James Ellroy and John Fante, both of whose work is referred to here, Mr. Connelly continues to make his doomy, secretive Los Angeles a living, breathing character in his stories.” —New York Times
“Connelly…is the real thing: an immensely skilled entertainer who has mastered the requirements and expectations of his genre but also from time to time rises above them.” —Washington Post
“A solidly constructed cop tale.” —Amazon.com, editorial review
“Connelly sets up a great premise here—the cop determined to reinvent himself in the face of a thoroughly recalcitrant world…Give Connelly credit for having the courage to tinker with one of the richest characters in the genre.” —Booklist (starred review)
“The return of Detective Harry Bosch to the Los Angeles Police Department is nothing less than outstanding. The unique mix of eloquent, almost poetic dialog mixed with the smart banter of a murder investigation makes this novel seem like the welcome return of an old friend…Insert the usual departmental politics and the clever plot twists and you have a top-notch detective story. Len Cariou’s narration is solid, especially his use of accents. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal (audio review)
“Cariou effectively enacts a large, carefully crafted cast of suspects, victims, and cops, maneuvering easily past ethnic and sexist vocal land mines. Judiciously placed blues and jazz riffs add the finishing touches to this solid audio production.”
—Publishers Weekly (audio review)
“Harry Bosch fans will be delighted to learn that neither the author nor the narrator has lost his touch. Both keep getting better and better..[Cariou] punctuates each character differently, so there’s never any confusion about who is speaking. His sometimes gravelly voice, reminiscent of the late Rod Serling, makes Bosch’s persona come to life. The plotting in this fifteenth Connelly thriller is so tight you won’t figure out whodunit until Bosch does.” —AudioFile
