Homicide Detective Harry Bosch is assigned two cases in one day. In the Cold Case Division, DNA tests of old evidence have made a hit. The victim was strangled twenty year ago. A smear of blood was left on her neck. DNA results point to a pedophile who is now out of prison. But, he would have been only eight years old at the time. As Harry and his partner, David Chu, start to run down the case, they are called out to an apparent suicide. The victim is George Irving, the son of Harry's nemesis, Irvin Irving. Councilman Irving has insisted that Bosch take this case. He wants to know if it was a suicide or murder.

We get two mysteries in one book. Both were well-plotted with a lot of twists and turns along the way. Many characters that we met in previous books make an appearance in this one. Some of the characters have changed throughout the series. But Harry remains the stubborn loner we all know and love. My rating: 4 Stars.
