Because the attorney rose to fame prosecuting cases that alleged police brutality and racism by the LAPD, the list of suspects includes half of the police force. Harry Bosch is chosen to head the investigation, a politically explosive affair that will take him to the ugliest corners of law enforcement. To make matters worse, Bosch's wife, a compulsive gambler, is missing. It's a delicate situation on all fronts--and an entire city holds its breath waiting for Bosch to solve the crime.
