At first I found this book
Reviewed: 08-08-19
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 body has been found on the overlook near Mulholland Drive. The victim, identified as Dr. Stanley Kent, has two bullet holes in the back of his head, from what looks like an execution-style shooting. LAPD detective Harry Bosch is called out to investigate. As soon as Bosch begins retracing Dr. Kent's steps, contradictions emerge. While Kent doesn't seem to have had ties to organized crime, he did have access to dangerous radioactive substances from just about every hospital in Los Angeles County.

A bit short
Reviewed: 06-27-19
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?

Story
In Los Angeles in 1988, a 16-year-old girl disappeared from her home and was later found dead of a gunshot wound to the chest. The death appeared at first to be a suicide, but some of the evidence contradicted that scenario, and detectives came to believe this was in fact a murder. Despite a by-the-book investigation, no one was ever charged.
