About this listen
On New Year's Day, a dog finds a bone in the Hollywood Hills - and unearths a murder committed more than 20 years earlier. It's a cold case, but for Detective Harry Bosch, it stirs up memories of his childhood as an orphan. He can't let it go. As the investigation takes Bosch deeper into the past, a beautiful rookie cop brings him alive in the present. No official warning can break them apart - or prepare Bosch for the explosions when the case takes a few hard turns. Suddenly all of L.A. is in an uproar, and Bosch, fighting to keep control, is driven to the brink of an unimaginable decision.
Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available.

Story
The man most hated by the LAPD - a black lawyer who has made his name by bringing lawsuits alleging racism and brutality by police officers - has been found murdered on the eve of a high-profile trial. The list of suspects includes half the police force. And Harry Bosch is the detective chosen to head the investigation. The political dangers of the case are huge. If it's not investigated fairly, the public outcry could make the Rodney King riots look tame. But a full investigation will take Bosch into the ugliest corners of law enforcement.

Story
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.

The messages waiting for Henry Pierce when he plugs in his new phone clearly aren't intended for him. They indicate something has gone terribly wrong for a woman named Lilly. Pierce probes, investigates, and then tumbles through a hole, leaving behind a life driven by work to track down and help a woman he's never met. Connelly's latest is "a grabber from the beginning...utterly compelling."

Two women have gone missing, and LAPD detective Harry Bosch has a strong suspicion that an avid fisherman named Denninger is the culprit. Bosch needs something stronger than a suspicion to bring Denninger in, but all he has are a handful of photos - prior mug shots and pictures of Denninger posing with his prize fish. It's not much to go on, and Bosch is running out of time, which is why he calls in FBI agent Rachel Walling. What she sees in these photos could blow his case wide open.

The Bosch enigma continues
It's fascinating to me how the Bosch character can come across as having such a different personality depending who the reader is. I wonder if some of it might be inconsistencies in the writing, but it is hard for me to tell. Any way you cut, regardless of the reader's interpretation presented through tone and emphasis, Bosch is the architypal anti-hero that resonates so deeply with me, and I suspect with virtually everyone. Connelly does his homework and brings a gripping, multilayer story every time in this series.

Warning: abridged version
When I purchased this I did not realize it is abridged. Also, I bought this version because I think Len Cariou is absolutely the best narrator for the Bosch series, but this book changes many things about the characters of Bosch and Edgar and the reading reflects this. The crime story is interesting but if you like Harry and Edgar, this will be disappointing.

Short version!!! Weird music
Love Michael Connelly, and love the Harry Bosch character. I have already watched the TV episode based on this book and was surprised at the differences in the story, in a good way! Very much worthwhile story.
However, the music in this production is strange and at times hampers the story. There are times of no and times of too loud music. No jazz, which would make sense since that is Harry’s preference. Instead, the music is a strange New Age style, like you hear during a massage.
I didn’t realize when I purchased, but this is ABRIDGED and only has half the content of the full book. My mistake, but I’m bummed that I wasted money on this version.
