robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2106 more book reviews


Suspended from the police force after an altercation with his commanding officer, Detective Harry Bosch has a lot of time on his hands. With lots of time to kill, Harry decides to look into a cold case. In 1961 a prostitute was murdered and left in an alley. No one was ever arrested for this crime. Harry wants to get to the bottom of this case since the victim was his mother. As he studies the evidence and the interviews taken by the homicide detectives, Harry sees some big holes in the investigation. Was there a cover up? Is the killer someone she knew?

This is the fourth book in the Harry Bosch series and it's a winner. We get to know more about Harry and what makes him tick. The mystery was solid and there were a couple of red herrings to throw us (and Harry) off track. There was also a surprise in the middle of the book I didn't see coming at all. My rating: 4 Stars.
