Publisher's Summary

In 1993, Marie Gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket. Harry Bosch worked the case but couldn't crack it, and the 22-year-old was never found. Now, more than a decade later, with the Gesto file still on his desk, Bosch gets a call from the district attorney. A man accused of two heinous murders is willing to come clean about several others, including the killing of Marie Gesto. Taking the confession of the man he has sought and hated for 13 years is bad enough. Discovering that he missed a clue back in 1993 that could have stopped nine other murders may just be the straw that breaks Harry Bosch.

Impressed? Ace detective Harry Bosch is also on the case in other exciting Michael Connelly crime-fiction novels.

What the Critics Say

  • Winner of Audio Publishers Association 2007 Audie Award, Mystery

By: Vicki (USA)

This is my 5th or 6th Michael Connelly book, with all but one being Harry Bosch novels. I love the stories: they are intriguing and tense, and keep my interest. This is the first one I've listened to by this narrator, however, and I would never buy anything he reads, again. For one, he seems to have a speech impediment that makes his 'F' and 'Th' sound like Daffy Duck. For two, it's clear he hasn't read ahead of what he is speaking. This makes his intonation awkward and stilted at best, misleading at worst. In summary, the narrator, which often can make the audible presentation, definitely "breaks" this one.

I have read almost all of the Harry Bosch series and am truly enjoying this character! My mother was a police officer, as are a few of my close friends and Connelly nails the PD lifestyle and work environment. The Harry Bosch character was written with so much depth, one forgets he's a fictional character! I recommend all in the series!

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK.
LEN CARIOU NARRATION IS TERRIFIC AND THE STORY HAS SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS BUT NEVER ANNOYS THE LISTENER.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED .
MICHAEL CONNELLY IS ONE OF THE BEST FICTION WRITERS
AROUND TODAY.
I HAVE READ ABOUT HALFE OF HIS NOVELS AND ENJOYED ALL OF THEM.

I liked the story line. Harry Bosch seems to have repeating issues with authority and the woman that come into his life. Can't wait to download the next one in this series... the Brass Verdict. Enjoy!

By: Richard (Australia)

This book is good as far as it goes, although I have read it previously and enjoyed listening to the story as much as I remember reading it when it came out. However, as some others have said, the narration leaves much to be desired. My main problem is that the narrator has a very dull, quiet voice for nearly all the female characters; Rachel Walling was a consistently bad example. Also, I sometimes got the impression that the narrator forgot which voice to use for which character: one notable example was towards the end when it was Bosch's words, but in the voice of the previous character to have spoken! I had to stop and work out quite what was going on there…
