The Narrows by Michael Connelly

The Poet is back! It's been years but he's resurfaced by leaving a note for FBI Agent Rachel Walling. She's called into a new task force as an "observer" since she's still banished to undesirable outposts because of what happened during the original investigation. Meanwhile, Harry Bosch is asked to look into the death of a friend who appeared to die from natural causes. But, it doesn't take long for his investigation to intersect with the FBI's task force.
I don't normally like revisiting former nemeses but this is one I looked forward to reading because The Poet was diabolical and I was shocked when his identity was revealed. This case lived up to his reputation as he continued to use wit, subterfuge and distractions but this time we've got Harry involved who was up to the task. He and Rachel made a good team, though I continue to have issues with that character.
I very much enjoyed this story and Len Cariou as the narrator. My audiobook edition had musical accompaniments to highlight certain parts of the story and I liked that enhancement. It was also pretty special being privy to Harry's relationship with his daughter Maddie. Combined with an unexpected twist at the end, this all made for another wonderful listening experience in the world of Harry Bosch. Still wild about him.
