Story
In Los Angeles in 1988, a 16-year-old girl disappeared from her home and was later found dead of a gunshot wound to the chest. The death appeared at first to be a suicide, but some of the evidence contradicted that scenario, and detectives came to believe this was in fact a murder. Despite a by-the-book investigation, no one was ever charged.

Story
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved. Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box", the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.

Story
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. The crime was never resolved, and the young woman's murder was in the stack of unsolved-case files Bosch carried home the night he left the LAPD.

Publisher's Summary
As soon as Bosch begins retracing Dr. Kent's steps, contradictions emerge. While Kent doesn't seem to have had ties to organized crime, he did have access to dangerous radioactive substances from just about every hospital in Los Angeles County. What begins as a routine homicide investigation opens up before Bosch into something much larger, more dangerous - and much more urgent.

Supremely annoying
Not a bad Harry Bosch book --too short, not a proper ending, but still, one of the better ones. It's not the book itself that's the problem.
The first problem is that someone couldn't leave well enough alone. They had to augment the narration with blasts of music at seemingly random moments -- and not appropriate music, like in Olden Days when the music would clue you in to what you were supposed to be feeling, to help explain the action. No, here it's just random tunes at random moments, no connection to the words or the story apparent.
The second problem -- which exacerbates the first -- is a very strange narration. The narrator's voice is fine, but he speaks with a very odd cadence, sort of sing-songy, or maybe it's just that he's emphasizing every word, the way you'd do if you were trying to get a non-speaker of English to understand you. It's infuriating. You want to say, 'Get on with it!' But he's consistent, first word to the last. By all means, listen to a section before you buy.
Put the two together -- you're just starting to sway a little with the narrator, almost managing to forget his idiosyncrasies, when you get hit with a blast of music, and have to start again.
Very unpleasant. Toward the end, I found myself thinking that it was a darn good thing it was only six hours long. I would never have finished it, had it been longer.

Good book, but needs a final chapter
I've read or listened to all of this series, and the latest tale is a worthy addition. However, it was quite short, which is unfortunate, because it was such a fun read. Also, the book ends very abruptly, with several loose ends (personal and professional for Harry). It's as if the original final chapter of the book has been deleted. That is frustrating.

Good thriller
I hesitate to read books from the Hari Bosch series because some of them involve crimes that are quite gruesome. But this was a thrilling read which I enjoyed and it has more to do with chasing leads and criminals and less about forensics and gruesome crime scenes

Skip It
I have read most (if not all) of Connelly's books and this one seemed to rush to the conclusion. The normal setup of the facts and the deciphering of them seemed very very weak. Not a good effort.

I agree with the above reviewer. I was disappointed -- this story line was weak. I have (almost) read all of the Bosch stories also and was anticipating this release, but it just isn't up to par.

Very short
This is by far the shortest book in the Bosch series so far, and it feels like a bit of a letdown given the prior books. The story isn't bad, it's just compressed, with only a few twists. Connelly has set the bar so high, the critique of this books is really him being a victim of his own success.

Too Short!
This book is much too short and has an unsatisfying ending. I was left wanting more -- and not in a good way. It wasn't due to a great cliffhanger, or the suspense and tension of the story -- I was left wanting more because there wasn't enough content.
I gave the book three stars nonetheless because Connelly continues to develop Bosch and write taut and tightly-paced stories.
I continue to enjoy Cariou's narration. Some have mentioned that he reads in a sing-song manner. I listen to almost all books at 1.5 speed and I wonder if that helps because I have no such complaint.

Disappointing rendition
Michael Connelly's plotting and storytelling remain excellent but in this reading, protagonist Harry Bosch is more annoying than usual. Reader seemed to need to clear his throat but didn't; also inconsistent in pronunciation of the name of Harry's new partner Iggy's last name, which was distracting. Good story but probably better in print.
