Before they can get started, Harry's plopped in the middle of a politically charged case involving his nemesis Irvin Irving whose son was either dropped f

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.

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, I

What more can I say about an author & main character that never lets me down? Love that I can always count on Harry Bosch to pull me out of a book reading slump. Another great read in a fantastic series! A Must Read!
This was a better addition than the previous one. There were two story lines and it looks like one of them will continue on and both were good. I just can’t give 4 stars because of things that bother me like how there are no other good detectives out there and the bad female partners for Harry.
I actually upped this from a four to a five star. I don't think I have read any of the Bosch series that I didn't like but this is a [i] really [/i] good one...
Harry is now partnered up with Chu, the Asian Gang Unit Detective who worked with Bosch in [b] Nine Dragons [/b]. Chu has transferred to the Open Unsolved Unit. Kiz Ryder is getting higher up in the arena of bureaucracy and seeming to like it there.

I have wanted to read this one for some time, but kept putting it off. I am glad that I did finish this one and the story was very good. Bosch never ceases to amaze me in the way he pursues the criminal. He is unrelenting.
There are two cases in this one. One that is unsolved and they have a hit on the DNA and go looking for the perpetrator and one that involves Irv Irving's son who appears to have committed suicide. Both cases are very difficult because of the evidence that appears at first.
