Harry Bosch is back where he belongs: right in the centre of a particularly puzzling murder mystery. The difference is, this time Harry is working for the defence, aiming to prevent the accused, Leland Foster, from being convicted. But not only does the prosecution seem to have a cast-iron case, having crossed over to ‘the dark side’, as his former LAPD colleagues would put it, is Harry in danger of betraying the very principles he’s lived by his whole career?
Down-at-heels lawyer Mickey Haller has inherited his old colleague’s clients. That means some serious cash. The only problem is that the other lawyer was murdered, and the tough-minded detective handling the case – one Harry Bosch – thinks the killer is one of his clients, and that Mickey could also be in danger.
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 any other evidence is virtually nonexistent. Now Bosch and his new partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Starting 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 reveals that this shooting may have been anything but random.
Mickey Haller gets the text, ‘Call me ASAP – 187’, and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game. When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow path, he knows he is on the hook for this one. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger. Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mickey must work tirelessly and bring all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt.
