Cold cases have a way of refusing to stay buried. In Extraordinary People, a forensic expert reopens a ten-year-old disappearance and finds bones that were never meant to be found. The Lantern Men sends Ruth Galloway back into the field when a convicted killer offers up the location of old graves — at a price. In Desert Star, Bosch pursues the unsolved murder of his own sister while Ballard's cold case unit quietly reopens one more file. And in In a House of Lies, a body surfaces a decade later in ground the police already searched — and someone has been lying since the beginning.
