Publisher's summary

Suspended from his job with the LAPD, Harry Bosch must face the darkest parts of his past to track down his mother's killer...even if it costs him his life.

Harry Bosch's life is on the edge. His earthquake-damaged home has been condemned. His girlfriend has left him. He's drinking too much. And after attacking his commanding officer, he's even had to turn in his L.A.P.D. detective's badge. Now, suspended indefinitely pending a psychiatric evaluation, he's spending his time investigating an unsolved crime from 1961: the brutal slaying of a prostitute who happened to be his own mother.

Even after three decades, Harry's questions generate heat among L.A.'s top politicos. And as the truth begins to emerge, it becomes more and more apparent that someone wants to keep it buried. Someone very powerful...very cunning...and very deadly.

Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has created a dark, fast-paced suspense thriller that cuts to the core of Harry Bosch's character. Once you start it, there's no turning back.

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

Critic reviews

"Grabs you and shakes you-and it feels great." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Connelly is at the top of his form in this brilliant mystery. Dick Hill does an outstanding job capturing Bosch's cynicism and anger, confusion and hurt. Hill changes his voice well to portray the other characters, most notably the female police psychiatrist...this is a first-rate production." (AudioFile)

"A powerful book." (Houston Chronicle)

I’m hooked

I am really enjoying the Bosch series, and liked this book in particular. I absolutely love Dick Hill’s performances in this series and the Reacher series as well. He is a fantastic reader!

It's not over until it's over

Just when you think that the book is done, you find out that there's more to the story. It's interesting to see what really happened in this story. You won't see it coming.

I've read his other books, and this is just as good.

Love Harry Bosch!

Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch is the man. Love these books. I did not actually "read" them in order as they were written, but no matter....never get enough of these stories.

If you're out of Jack Reachers, try Harry Bosch!

I had run out of Reacher books. I had had high hopes for John Sandford, though after two books I decided to try something else. Reluctantly, I came back to Michael Connelly - I had tried first The Black Echo (Harry Bosch Book 1) which was very good, though not engrossing enough to get Book 2 subsequently The Fifth Witness which I had almost forgotten having listened to. At any rate, I chose this one, skipping Books 2 and 3 in the Harry Bosch series because it had 4.5 stars. I figured that this would be an example of Michael Connelly at his best. While reading The Last Coyote, I started to like and became interested Harry Bosch's character. Now I'm on Angels Flight, Book 6 and it is the best so far -- they just keep getting better.

On Leave and A Cold Case

Harry is on leave and does some traveling to Florida and Nevada while looking into his mother's murder. While doing so Harry's dark personal feelings comes to the for front, feels he has had most of his life. The story is filled with twists and turns all the way to the end. I recommend this novel and the series.
