He untangles the links to other crimes and uncovers what many had thought to keep hidden. Working as a PI, not as a policeman has its drawbacks, some life threatening, but he continues on even when warned off. His house becomes a major crime scene, and it is hinted that he will get rid of it and never go back. I'd become quite attached to his house. His relationship with Eleanor Wish takes an interesting turn, which could prove to be life-changing for him, but we will have to wait and see. (  ) maree57 | Aug 12, 2009 | Good plot. Harry is retired and obsessed by an old unsolved case involving the murder of a movie staff person and the theft of $2 million dollars from the set. He is threatened by Homeland Security as well as others to drop the case, but, of course, he doesn't and rides it to a violent conclusion. ( ) addunn3 | Jul 17, 2009 | I've read all the Harry Bosch novels in chronological order. I've just finished this one, and it's a crackerjack read. From the first pages I can feel myself in the hands of a master story-teller. Of course, it's a much better read if you know the characters beforehand from the previous novels. The plot zips along, Harry never loses his lip, and the ending is a surprise. What more could I ask? (  ) Wheatland | Mar 5, 2009 | Good story and a good ending. Fairly typical Bosch novel.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446699527, Paperback)Fed up with the hypocrisy and bureaucracy of the LAPD, Harry Bosch has retired, but the life of a retiree doesnt suit him. He has devoted his life to law enforcement because of a deep drive to see equal justice for all. On his own, he is still drawn toward the law. And when he rediscovers a startling, unsolved murder among the old case files hes been poring over, he knows he cant rest until he finds the killerwith or without a badge. Moving ever further inside the remarkable character of Harry Bosch, whom the New York Post calls the quintessential mystery book hero, Michael Connelly takes another step closer to the classic novels of Raymond Chandler in this breakneck, relentless, and powerful new novel.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:51 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

The plot was excellent and kept me guessing. The main character, Harry Bosch, is great. But I couldn't get lost in the story. I got bored and often found myself skimming the unnecessary descriptive pages. (
