An activist attorney is killed in a cute little L.A. trolley called Angels Flight, far from Harry Bosch's Hollywood turf. But the case is so explosive, and the dead man's enemies inside the LAPD are so numerous, that it falls to Harry to solve it.
now the streets are superheating. Harry's year-old Vegas marriage is unraveling. And the hunt for a killer is leading Harry to another high-profile L.A. murder case, one where every cop had a motive. The question is, did any have the guts?

For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit. Pitted against enemies inside his own department and forced to make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, Bosch goes on the hunt for a killer whose true face will shock him.

When a body is found in a hotel room, reporters are soon all over the case: it appears to be a missing LAPD narcotics detective gone bad. The police are quick to declare the death a suicide, but Detective Harry Bosch is not so sure.

Working the case, Harry is reminded of the primal police rule he learned long ago: don't look for the fact but the glue that holds them together. Soon he's making some very dangerous connections, leading to a bloody string of murders that wind from Hollywood Boulevard to the back alleys south of the border.

Now this battle-scarred veteran will find himself in the center of a complex and deadly game -- one in which he may be the next and likeliest victim.

When Detective Renee Ballard returns to Hollywood Station only to find a stranger rifling through old file cabinets, she's shocked that it's retired detective Harry Bosch working a cold case. Ballard can't let him go through department records, but when he leaves, she looks into the case herself and feels a deep tug of empathy and anger.

The murder, never solved, was of a fifteen-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway on the streets of Hollywood who was brutally killed, her body left in a dumpster like so much trash. Now Ballard joins forces with Bosch to find out what happened and finally bring her killer to justice. The two detectives forge a fragile trust, but this partnership is put to the test when the case takes an unexpected and dangerous turn.
