Meanwhile Harry Bosch is working with the prosecutors office to put away a hollywood killer. He's famous and tells Harry he'll get away with the murder of a young woman. It's a high profile case and is being televised so the prosecution is being very careful.
Terry meets with Harry and comes to the conclusion that Harry is the killer of Gunn. Once Harry becomes aware of this, he must find the real killer or go to prison and lose the high profile case.”
“I love when characters from different series meet in the same book.”

“Retired FBI agent Terry McCaleb is approached by a LAPD detective to consult on a murder case that has overtones of a serial killer. The victim was a criminal named Gunn who had previously been questioned by McCaleb's old friend, Detective Harry Bosch, about the death of a prostitute. After viewing the videotape of the murder scene and reading through the police reports McCaleb gets a terrible feeling that Bosch may have meted out his own justice to Gunn who had beaten the rap of murder in the prostitue case. Bosch, meanwhile, is a witness in a high profile case involving a wealthy movie producer who has been accused of killing a young starlet during a night of passion. McCaleb secretely investigates Bosch but when his query is leaked to a reporter Bosch and McCaleb find themselves on opposite sides of the case. The criminal investigation into Bosch could also cause problems with the case in which he is a witness. Did Harry commit the crime?

This was an interesting story of how two old friends become antagonists although they both want the same end result. There was so much going on at times and so many characters to keep straight that I had a hard time following the plot line at times. Being a steadfast lover of Harry Bosch stories it was a bit strange to think he might be a bad guy for a change!

Another terrific novel from Connelly.
Terry is brought out of his retirement to investigate a case which seems closely linked with Harry.
As Terry scans through the evidences, only one unlikely person emerges as the prime suspect.”
“Great blending of 3 Connelly characters...Bosch & Caleb with a little McAvoy thrown in for good measure.”

“Detective Bosch finds himself as the key witness in a very public trial, while an ex-FBI agent begins looking into another murder. This time it's Bosch who is the suspect. As the story progresses we find the two investigations have more to do with each other than originally thought. Bosch and the investigator come together to finish the job. ”
