Harry Bosch is working the Cold Case Squad at LAPD, paired with his newest partner Kiz Rider. Haunted by a case from 20 years earlier, Harry is doing some side investigation when new evidence turns up in the case. This evidence seems to indicate that Harry and his former partner overlooked some crucial evidence that allowed the killer to go free and commit many more murders. This possibility leaves Harry close to a break down, and a questioning of his abilities as a police officer.

As usual Connelly gives us a wonderfully textured story of a man in crisis, and trying to maintain his equilibrium in a world gone topsy turvy. Full of surprises, yet not over the top, the novel delivers on many levels, and makes us like our flawed hero even more.
