Harry Bosch has never been much good at leaving a case alone, or indeed at leaving anything alone. Here he digs a murdered boy out of a Laurel Canyon hillside, worries at a film company killing as a private eye with no badge to hide behind, and chases a gunman whose bullet took ten years to finish its work. Connelly’s Los Angeles has rarely looked so seductive or so treacherous. Put on some jazz and settle down.
