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)

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.

Solid Background

Enjoyable book which gave some important details on Harry’s background, which makes him the way he is. A bit more focused on emotions than other works, which took away from the pacing. All in all a good read

Great book, poor audio

This fourth book in the Harry Bosch series continues to impress with Michael Connelly’s superb storytelling skills and Dick Hill’s excellent narration.
The audio is bad though. It sounds “foggy”, as it might sound if the microphone had been placed in a closed cardboard box, and I found it very annoying, but stuck with it. I hope this was a fluke with this book only and that none of the rest of the series has such poor audio quality.

Loving the series

I really like the story I will start the next book almost immediately. I prefer the books over The TV series. I like the path the books you're takand there's obviously more detail in a book than the TV series. I have enjoyed every book up to this point in the series . I look forward to reading the next one I hope throughout the series that I continue to enjoy the books. In the back of my mind there's a little part of me that wonders if I will be disappointed along the way. But I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Ghosts of the Past

Absolutely, loved it: this book reveals the story of Bosch’s upbringing, events leading upto his suspension and finally solving his mothers murder. During his investigation he meets Jazz both of them dealing with their own ghosts of the past. Dick Hill did an amazing job with the narration.

Harry's On Stress Leave

Seems that Bosch's attitude has finally done him in but that turns out not to be the case. He decides while on leave he will investigate a 30+ year old murder, his mother. The case takes him to Florida and back to LA but he uncovers lots of mysteries along the way. His world has more conspiracy theories than anyone should have to deal with but he perseveres and with some not exactly straight forward moves he solves the case. It doesn't end where it begins but he does get cleared of wrong doing. Again, Dick Hill is a superb narrator.

One of my favorite BOSCH stories

I really liked this story. I have read several newer stories and all of the older ones. This gives us a look at how it all began for Harry. It also lets us know what happened to his mother. I got a little tired of the story near the end but overall one of my favorites
