Twenty-four years ago, every parent's nightmare comes true----a young girl is abducted and murdered. The man convicted of the crime uncovers new evidence that secures his release from a life sentence in prison. The District Attorney, however, is not convinced by this new evidence. He persuades Mickey Haller, well-known defense attorney, to cross the aisle' and accept the challenge of retrying the killer. The addition of Haller's half-brother, Detective Harry Bosch of the LAPD, to the prosecution team brings two of Michael Connolly's greatest characters together in the fight against an evil killer as he attempts to make fools of them all.
Throughout, I enjoyed the courtroom drama that unfolds as defense and prosecution lawyers argue their cases. Tension and a sense of urgency builds as it becomes clear to Detective Bosch that Jason Jessup, probably a serial predator, is planning something nefarious that could have serious repercussions. Bosch's tenaciousness in not relaxing his vigilance in his search for the truth contributes the crucial deductive element that ultimately brings it all together at the end.
