Synopsis

Harry Bosch finds himself yet again in charge of a case that no one else will touch...This time his job is to nail the killer of hot shot black lawyer Howard Elias. Elias has been found murdered on the eve of going to court on behalf of Michael Harris, a man the LAPD believes guilty of the rape and murder of a twelve-year-old girl. Elias had let it be known that the aim of his civil case was not only to reveal the real killer but to target and bring down the racist cops who beat up his client during a violent interrogation. Now it's all down to Bosch - and he's got to take a long, hard look at some of his colleagues in a police department that is rife with suspicion and hatred.

Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

Howard Elias, a high-profile black lawyer, is murdered and his body is dumped in a funicular in downtown LA. As Elias specialized in allegations of police brutality and racism, most LAPD cops are reluctant to touch the case. When detective Harry Bosch is put in charge, his investigations in his own backyard are, unsurprisingly, explosive in their results. As in Connelly's Blood Work, he again succeeds in producing a novel that has both the bite of authenticity and a grasp of plotting that makes Bosch's descent into a world of corruption and betrayal a truly splendid read. The beleaguered detective protagonist is characterized with assurance and wry understanding. (Kirkus UK)
