Il detective Harry Bosch ha chiuso il distintivo nel cassetto: dopo ventotto anni ha lasciato la polizia di Los Angeles. Ma la ricerca della verita e per lui un'ossessione, una febbre che gli impedisce di trovare pace. Nella sua mente e ancora viva l'immagine di Angela Benton, strangolata quattro anni prima: i seni scoperti, gli occhi spalancati, le mani alzate sopra la testa, in un'implorante richiesta d'aiuto. La telefonata di Lawton Cross, poliziotto che si era occupato dell'indagine dopo di lui, e la molla che spinge Bosch ad agire. La vittima lavorava come assistente di un famoso produttore di Hollywood e tutti gli indizi sembrano collegare la sua morte a una rapina da due milioni di dollari avvenuta sul set di un grande film d'azione.

Now Bosch realises that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue

Quina relació pot haver-hi entre un assassinat de fa dues decades i un seguit de morts esdevingudes anys despres sense cap explicació aparent? L’inspector Harry Bosch s’ho ha de preguntar quan la investigacio d’un antic homicidi el transporta a la pitjor epoca que recorda de la seva llarga trajectoria professional: les revoltes racials que van arrasar Los Angeles el 1992. A mesura que avanci en la investigacio d’aquell cas que va quedar per resoldre, Bosch haura de tornar als dies turbulents en que la ciutat semblava que embogis i una jove fotografa va morir en circumstancies estranyes. I es possible que la resolucio de l’assassinat del 1992 tambe permeti aclarir altres crims.
