Summary
 On New Year's Day, a dog finds a bone in the Hollywood Hills--and unearths a murder committed more than twenty years earlier. It's a cold case, but for Detective Harry Bosch, it stirs up memories of his childhood as an orphan. He can't let it go. As the investigation takes Bosch deeper into the past, a beautiful rookie cop brings him alive in the present. No official warning can break them apart--or prepare Bosch for the explosions when the case takes a few hard turns. Suddenly all of L.A. is in an uproar, and Bosch, fighting to keep control, is driven to the brink of an unimaginable decision.

What did you love best about City of Bones: Harry Bosch Series, Book 8?

If you like the Harry Bosch series then you will like this one. The book is written in the same style as others in the series. The story is not as engaging as some of the others but still a good book overall.

A good Bosch novel but could only give it 3 stars because the reader could not do the voices or the semi dark and gritty nature of the series.
