Four detectives, four kinds of trouble that won't stay buried. In Los Angeles, Harry Bosch is chasing a cold case DNA match that makes no sense when an old rival's family drags him into a second death entirely. In Washington, Amos Decker witnesses an execution outside FBI headquarters and finds a conspiracy nobody wants him to see. In Edinburgh, a respectable art dealer borrows trouble from the wrong people to pull off the perfect heist. And half a world away, a holiday reunion turns sour when DSI Lorimer's old enemies decide the past isn't over yet. Crime fiction at its most atmospheric.
