Solid Harry Bosch novel. I am liking this series more and more. This installment had a few good twists in the plot....I like it when I can't figure out "who dunnit".

Connelly crafts a gritty crime detective fiction in the Harry Bosch series. Bosch is a homicide detective with a tough background, flaws and a slight anti-establishment bent even though he ultimately fights for good. In this 3rd Bosch novel, Connelly cracks the hard Bosch veneer to display some emotion and based on caring for his girlfriend Sylvia. The plot is very strong with many twists and along the way to find a serial killer. Recommended reading if you like John Sandford’s Prey series or crime fiction in general.
