Publisher's summary

An activist attorney is killed in a cute little L.A. trolley called Angels Flight, far from Harry Bosch's Hollywood turf. But the case is so explosive - and the dead man's enemies inside the L.A.P.D. are so numerous - that it falls to Harry to solve it. Now the streets are superheating. Harry's year-old Vegas marriage is unraveling. And the hunt for a killer is leading Harry to another high-profile L.A. murder case, one where every cop had a motive. The question is, did any have the guts?

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

New narrator

The new narrator was a surprise, but he did a great job at capturing Bosch.

Great story

I like this narrator’s voice better for Harry, as I think a rough gravelly voice suits his character better than the Dick Hill voice. However I will agree that Dick Hill had a better voice for Edgar.

A solid whodunnit

Great story from start to end. Classic Bosch. This booked also played well in the TV series. Peter Giles is a great voice but didn’t quite fit as well as Dick Hill.

Funky narration.

Good story, weird narration. Like listening to 14 hours of that guy from the 90’s that did all the action movie trailer voice overs.

Really captivating story

I’m always amazed that people like Michael Connelly have imaginations that can come up with stories like this one. Worth listening to even though the narration was tortured sounding with the Bosch character.
I have listened to another Bosch book by this narrator, and he improved a lot after this. I’m guessing in response to the feedback, so good for him. But I wouldn’t skip this book because of the narration, it’s possible to get used to it and the story is great.
