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 L.A.P.D. 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?

Great writing, poor performance

It can be annoying when the audio performer changes in the middle of a series, but this change was downright painful. I didn't care at all for the performer's style for the main character.

Passion and betrayal, violent desperation, ambivalent love that hinges on hatred, and the quest for acceptance by those who stand on the edge of society—these are the hard-hitting themes of a stunningly crafted first collection of stories by the bestselling author of House of Sand and Fog.

Would you listen to The Cage Keeper, and Other Stories again? Why?
I really enjoy Dubus' writing. I enjoyed the various stories in this audio book. The stories -- as per usual -- cover deep, dark topics but in a very frank and honest way. The writing can pick at scabs in a good way -- causing me to dig into my own experiences in an effort to understand them.
How could the performance have been better?
Dubus is a brilliant writer -- but he should stick to the writing and have a professional do the audio portion of his books.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. The stories can be difficult. It would be too much to work through them all in one sitting. I did, however, focus on finishing each story at one time.
