Publisher's summary

Only the money was real. Four years ago, LAPD detective Harry Bosch was on a movie set, asking questions about the murder of a young production assistant, when an armored car arrived with $2 million cash for use in a heist scene. In a life-imitates-art firestorm, a gang of masked men converged on the delivery and robbed the armored car with guns blazing. Bosch got off a shot that struck one of the robbers as their van sped away, but the money was never recovered. And the young woman's murder was in the stack of unsolved-case files Bosch carried home the night he left the LAPD.

Now Bosch moves full-bore back into that case, determined to find justice for the young woman. Without a badge to open doors and strike fear in the guilty, he learns afresh how brutally indifferent the world can be. But something draws him on, past humiliation and harassment. It's not just that the dead woman had no discernible link to the robbery. Nor is it his sympathy for the cops who took the case over, one of them killed on duty and the other paralyzed by a bullet in the same attack. With every conversation and every thread of evidence, Bosch senses a larger presence, an organization bigger than the movie studios and more ruthless than even the LAPD. The part of Bosch that will never back down finds as fatal an opponent as he's ever encountered - and there's no guarantee that Bosch will survive the showdown ahead.

Don't miss Detective Harry Bosch on the case in these Michael Connelly crime fiction novels.

Critic reviews

  • Audie Award Winner, Mystery, Fiction, 2004

"It's never pretty watching Harry [Bosch] edge toward connection with those he loves and then back away...but it just may be the most compelling train wreck in crime fiction." (Booklist, Starred Review)
"This exciting procedural is as good as any in the series." (Publishers Weekly)

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.

Bosch turns PI

Good suspense. Plenty of wrong steps to keep you guessing.
Bosch would make a good Phillip Marlow as soon as he does his investigations for a living.
Hard to believe that he is going to keep turning down the money that was offered.

Enjoyable Read But Like Haller Character Better

I love Connolly's Mickey Haller books, but until now had not read one of Connolly's Detective Bosch mysteries. I enjoyed this one, although I was ahead of Bosch in figuring out the who done it. I liked the narration very much. Just the right tone and inflection.

Great production quality

I was very impressed with the production quality of this selection. Having read 6 or 7 of Connelly's Harry Bosch novels, I felt that Mr. Cariou's narration was in keeping with the character. Although not a fan of jazz music, I felt that the musical interludes were a nice touch and added to the overall quality of the production. Well done!

great narration

finding a quality reader seems to have been difficult since Dick Hill. Len Cariou does a great job and this book was really good.

Very Well Done

I have read all the Bosch books but am going back to listen to them. Len Cariou is my favorite narrator so far and I really enjoy the immersive experience and occasional use of music. it gives the books a very noir vibe and they are engaging and relaxing all at once. Highly recommend
