What to expect
SOME CRIMES YOU CAN'T FORGET.
OTHERS YOU CAN'T FORGIVE.
Detective Renée Ballard is given the chance to revive the LAPD's cold case unit and find justice for the families of the forgotten. The only catch is she must first unravel an unsolved murder, or lose this opportunity of a lifetime...
Harry Bosch is top of the list of investigators Ballard wants to recruit. The ex-detective is a living legend - but for how long?
Because Bosch has his own agenda: a crime that has haunted him for years - the murder of a whole family, buried out in the desert - which he vowed to close.
With the killer still out there and evidence elusive, Bosch is on a collision course with a choice he hoped never to make...

I have read all of the Michael Connelly books and love and know every one. Titus is Bosch. Christine has fast become the only Renée and will carry the authors stories forward in the Bosch tradition. I hope we get another book out of Bosch. I will be very sad otherwise and will mourn him as if he is real. This book had a different feel. Michael Connolly has played with our heartstrings whilst delivering more master story telling to accompany the raw emotion as Bosch accepts his life is drawing to a close . I look forward also to another Micky Haller book with Maddie in every book. Please keep the family alive for us
