Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Publishers Weekly The latest installment of the Harry Bosch series has the LAPD homicide detective reopening the 30-year-old unsolved murder of his mother.

With the spare time a suspension brings, Harry opens up the thirty-year-old file on the case and is irresistibly drawn into a past he has always avoided. In 1961, when Harry was twelve, his mother, a prostitute, was brutally murdered with no one ever accused of the crime. It's clear that the case was fumbled and the smell of a cover-up is unmistakable. At first he resists the LAPD shrink, but finally recognizes that something is troubling him and has for a long time. Harry attacked his commanding officer and is suspended indefinitely, pending a psychiatric evaluation. Someone powerful was able to divert justice and Harry vows to uncover the truth. As he relentlessly follows the broken pieces of the case, the stirred interest causes new murders and pushes Harry to the edge of his job and his life.
