Former Criminal Profiler Terry McCaleb is asked by the Sheriff's Department to look into a case that has grown cold. As Terry reads the file, he builds a profile of the perpetrator. As the picture in his mind becomes clearer, his suspect is none other than Los Angeles Homicide Detective Harry Bosch. Bosch knew the murder victim and had actually spoke to him the night of the murder. Did he follow the victim home? Would a decorated policeman stoop to cold-blooded murder? Or is Harry being set up?

This is an interesting merger of two of Michael Connelly's heroes. Terry McCaleb was introduced to us in "Blood Work". Harry Bosch has had six previous books in his series. I thought the story was interesting, but there seemed to be a lot of filler in this book. It began to drag a bit in the middle. I did like the ending, though it was rather obvious who was behind the murder. My rating: 4 Stars.
