Very gritty and grimey. The dirt and sleaze, both the murders and court room drama, are well played and leave little to like, other than the fact that you get sucked into the story and become a participant. Really fast page turner.

My favourite in the Harry Bosch series so far! A mix of courthouse and detective work :)

In this classic from a #1 "New York Times" bestselling author, Detective Harry Bosch thought he'd stopped the serial killer known as the Dollmaker. Now the dead man's widow is suing Harry and the LAPD for shooting the wrong man--an accusation that rings true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature. This was not one of my favorites in the Harry Bosh Collection, but recommend the series as there are so good ones!
