LAPD detective Harry Bosch is drawn to investigate a thirty-year-old unsolved crime: his mother's murder case.

Harry's life is a mess: his house has been condemned, his girlfriend has left him, he's drinking too much and he's had to turn in his badge after attacking his commanding officer.

The reinstatement of his badge is subject to psychiatric testing, and at first Bosch is resistant. Then he realises there's one issue underlying all the others: the brutal murder of his prostitute mother when he was eleven years old. No one was ever even accused of the crime.

As Harry opens up the old case file, he's forced to confront the demons of his past. Digging deeper, he discovers a trail of cover-ups that leads to the high-ups in the Hollywood Hills. After so long, can justice be done?

      Starred review from May 29, 1995
      In his fourth outing, LAPD Homicide Detective Harry Bosch (The Concrete Blonde, et al.) confronts deep family, police and political secrets as he probes an unsolved murder of decades earlier. Smart, tough, laconic and, under all that, compassionate, Harry lives by a code according to which ``Everybody counts or nobody counts... whether a prostitute or the mayor's wife.'' He begins this case in a departmental shrink's office, after having been suspended for attacking his commanding officer; his girlfriend has left him, and he's living in a house that's been condemned after an earthquake. In the enforced freedom from his job, he reopens the 30-year-old unsolved murder of an L.A. call girl--his mother. Skirting illegality along the way to the resolution, he unearths a lot of buried secrets and pain--not least to his own 11-year-old self. Nobody here is pure (a couple of people are truly nasty), but all the characters are believable, as are even the quirkier plot turns. Edgar-winner Connelly smoothly mixes Harry's detecting forays with his therapy sessions to dramatize how, sometimes, the biggest mystery is the self. BOMC alternate.
