Detective Harry Bosch and his new partner investigate a recent murder where the trigger was pulled nine years earlier. In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but all other evidence is virtually nonexistent. Now Bosch and rookie Detective Lucia Soto are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Beginning with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which soon reveal that this shooting may have been anything but random. In this gripping new novel, Michael Connelly shows once again why Harry Bosch is "one of the greats of crime fiction" (New York Daily News).

Appearing in his 19th novel, with retirement looming, 64-year-old Bosch is working for the LAPD's open-unsolved unit these days, and dealing with cold cases. There are plenty to go round: "more than 10,000 unsolved murders on the books in the past 50 years". He is landed with a doozy: a 10-year-old case, in which the victim has only just died. Orlando Merced was a mariachi player who became the unintended target of a shooting. He survived, but the bullet, lodged in his spine, took, eventually, both his legs, his arm, and then his life. His death means the bullet can finally be extracted and examined, giving Bosch and his new partner Lucía Soto new leads, for the first time in a decade, in what is now a murder case. By The Guardian
