In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet ten years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other evidence is virtually nonexistent.Now Bosch and his new partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Starting with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which soon reveals that this shooting may have been anything but random.

A Harry Bosch le quedan tres años para jubilarse del cuerpo de policía de Los Ángeles. Ahora que se acerca el final de su carrera profesional, está más empeñado que nunca en investigar nuevos casos, y en una sola mañana se encuentra con dos. Sumido por completo en ambos casos, que se entrelazan como la doble hélice de una muestra de ADN, Bosch efectúa dos escalofriantes descubrimientos: un sádico asesino que lleva más de dos décadas operando en la ciudad totalmente inadvertido, y una conspiración política que se remonta a la historia más oscura del cuerpo de policía.

In a case that spans two decades, 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.

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