About this listen

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.

Another fantastic story. Harry Bosch has got to be the greatest detective ever. I’ve downloaded the next one.

A great balance of hard nosed detective work and the reality of personal relationships that make the work worthwhile.

The true feeling of horror at the crime.

Another Great story from Michael Connely, again narrated by Ken Cariou, who this time around seems rather tired and his voice characterisations aren't quite up to his usual standard, that said he still did a reasonable job. An enjoyable, gripping story, with the usual twists and spins.
I'm looking forward to listening to the next books in the series.
