Poor Harry. His angst continues, this time in the form of a cold case homicide some thirty years unsolved. The emotional turmoil is ratcheted up due to the victim being none other than ... Harry's mother. I love Harry -- his perpetual bad mood, his unerring pessimism, and his core belief in right v wrong. "Everybody matters or nobody matters." It's like he's almost real.

This one is probably my favorite in the series so far. I really enjoyed seeing how he solved such an old/cold case and how everything unfolded.

Harry Bosch's life is on the edge. His earthquake-damaged home has been condemned. His girlfriend has left him. He's drinking too much. And after attacking his commanding officer, he's even had to turn in his L.A.P.D. detective's badge. Now, suspended indefinitely pending a psychiatric evaluation, he's spending his time investigating an unsolved crime from 1961: the brutal slaying of a prostitute who happened to be his own mother.

Even after three decades, Harry's questions generate heat among L.A.'s top politicos. And as the truth begins to emerge, it becomes more and more apparent that someone wants to keep it buried. Someone very powerful...very cunning...and very deadly.

Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has created a dark, fast-paced suspense thriller that cuts to the core of Harry Bosch's character. Once you start it, there's no turning back.

This was a great book. Harry finally finds out who killed his mother. It's not who you think.
