The book started off slowly. As it went on I got drawn into it more and more. The story developed into one with numerous twis and turns. Just when you think you have figured out where it was going you are taken in smother direction. A very good read.

A relatively short Bosch book by Michael Connelly’s standards. While if may be short on content it has all the elements of a Bosch thriller. There is the continuing distrust between the LA PD and the FBI. The love hate relationship between the two agencies goes on as does Bosch’s relationship with a certain FBI agent. Bosch goes to the chief of police for some help dealing with the feds but both the chief and Bosch are locked out of the information the feds have. Bosch, true to his belief, finding the missing link will lead to solving the crime proves his belief right once again. The narration is very good. I have repeatedly found some short comings with the actual recording. Not with the narration but missing or difficult to understand parts of the book. I have noticed this with the last several books. Does anyone else find this happening?

Bosch feels as if every is good with him Eriving out of the way. Or is he? The twists and turns are ever present. The person who confessed to the murder of the girl , that had been may not be the must but he killed many people. Is a assist district attorney responsible for for letting a cop killer go? Is he also responsible for Bosch's partner Rider being shot. Another thriller!
The narration is excellent.

Bosch is back doing what he is supposed to doing. Bosch's job could be over before it got started again. So many twists and turns as Connelly is noted for. Connecting again with an old partner. The reading is very good.

Bosch has his biggest run-in with the FBI one that ends with deadly consequences. Bosch also helps an agent find his lost love.

Another fine book by Mr. Connelly.
