Summary
Harry Bosch is facing the end of the line. He's been put on the DROP - Deferred Retirement Option Plan - and given three years before his retirement is enforced. Seeing the end of the mission coming, he's anxious for cases. He doesn't have to wait long.
First a cold case gets a DNA hit for a rape and murder which points the finger at a 29-year-old convicted rapist who was only eight at the time of the murder. Then a city councilman's son is found dead - fallen or pushed from a hotel window - and he insists on Bosch taking the case despite the two men's history of enmity. The cases are unrelated, but they twist around each other like the double helix of a DNA strand. One leads to the discovery of a killer operating in the city for as many as three decades; the other to a deep political conspiracy that reached back into the dark history of the police department.

A very good murder mystery
This book is a satisfyingly complex murder mystery based in LA. Actually, you get two plots for the price of one. The characters are well drawn and there are twists and turns along the way. If you are a Michael Connelly fan, then you will enjoy this book. The narration was good, although I have heard better. Nevertheless, I enjoyed listening and I recommend this audible book to murder mystery fans.

The true feeling of horror at the crime.
A great balance of hard nosed detective work and the reality of personal relationships that make the work worthwhile.

Bosch at his best
Michael Connelly continues to excel with his Harry Bosch stories, this one some added political intrigue as he copes with two cases one old and one new. Len Cariou's performance brings the story to life .

The best of high-jingo so far
Working two cases simultaneously gives this book some of the flow & excitement of the tv series.

Another. Great story
Story was good - I thought the narrator was not the greatest. I enjoyed it despite this.

Breathtaking❗️
Complexity, pace, intensity, pin-point alignment, coherence, 101% Bosch 👍
Indubitably, resoundingly, excoriatingly, searingly, scarily, horrifyingly Bosch 🤷♂️

Best Yet
I've got to confess to being a Michael Connelly fan, but this is the best yet, unputdownable!
