Mickey Haller gets the text, "Call me ASAP - 187," and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Murder cases have the highest stakes and the biggest paydays, and they always mean Haller has to be at the top of his game. When Mickey learns that the victim was his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow path, he knows he is on the hook for this one. He soon finds out that she was back in LA and back in the life. Far from saving her, Mickey may have been the one who put her in danger. Haunted by the ghosts of his past, Mickey must work tirelessly and bring all his skill to bear on a case that could mean his ultimate redemption or proof of his ultimate guilt.

Detective Harry Bosch bekommt zwei Falle auf den Tisch: Vor uber zwanzig Jahren wurde eine Studentin vergewaltigt und umgebracht. Endlich konnen die DNA-Spuren von ihrer Leiche einem einschlagigen Sexualstraftater zugeordnet werden. Doch der Mann war damals erst acht Jahre alt. Der zweite Fall hat sich gerade ereignet: Der zwielichtige Sohn eines einflussreichen Stadtrates von Los Angeles ist auf mysteriose Weise aus dem siebten Stock eines Luxushotels gesturzt. Selbstmord oder Mord?

Retraite ou pas retraite ? L'inspecteur Harry Bosch s'interroge encore quand on le charge de deux dossiers... Le premier - le viol suivi du meurtre d'une jeune fille - remonte a 1989 et les tests ADN viennent de designer le coupable : Clayton Pell... 8 ans au moment des faits ! Peu credible, donc. Dans le meme temps, Bosch est appele sur une scene de crime au Chateau Marmont, le celebre hotel de Los Angeles, ou un homme est tombe du septieme etage. Suicide, crime ou accident ? Le pere de la victime, un conseiller municipal tres puissant a L.A., veut en avoir le coeur net et exige assez curieusement que l'enquete soit confiee a Bosch, son vieil ennemi de toujours. Politiciens corrompus, predateurs sexuels... Harry Bosch a fort a faire, et surtout pas le temps de s'apitoyer sur lui-meme.

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.

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.

Harry Bosch tiene la oportunidad de reabrir un caso en el que trabajó en el pasado y que había quedado sin resolución; se traga del asesinato de Marie Gesto, una joven desaparecida años atrás. Bosch tuvo siempre el presentimiento de que nunca encontrarian con vida a Gesto y cuando las circunstancias le forzaron a cerrar el caso, se quedo con la desagradable sensacion de haber dejado escapar al culpable por obviar un detalle de la investigacion. Por ello recibe, entre esceptico y aliviado, la confesion de un hombre que alega estar detras del asesinato de la joven.Las circunstancias que envuelven el caso son atipicas dado el interes de un politico por llegar a un pacto con el presunto culpable. Arguye que resultaria beneficioso paa ambas partes: el detenido detallaria que pasocon otros casos irresolutos cuya autoria se atribuye, evitando asi la pena de muerte. A Bosch no le gusta la propuesta, pero no puede reprimir su deseo de cerrar un caso que le ha inquietado durante años. Su intuicion no le engaña: se trata de uno de los casos mas complejos de su carrera.Echo Park son muchas cosas: una novela emocionante de principio a fin, una trama policial inteligente cuyas piezas acaban encajando a la perfeccion, una oportunidad para profundizar aun mas en el enigmatico e interesante personaje de Harry Bosch, una invitacion a adentrarse en la relacion entre la clase politica y el cuerpo policial, asi como una reflexion acerca de las tragicas consecuencias que el error mas nimio puede ocasionar en una investigacion.

Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But his first case is a little more than he bargained for. It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what looks like "trunk music," a Mafia hit. But the LAPD's organized crime unit is curiously uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail of gambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex - and much more personal. A rekindled romance with an old girlfriend opens new perspectives on the murder, and he begins to glimpse a shocking triangle of corruption and collusion. Yanked off the case, Harry himself is soon the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harry when he's searching for the truth . .
