Harry Bosch and LAPD detective Renée Ballard collaborate to find the murderer who is Bosch's "white whale"—a guy who killed a whole family.
Renée Ballard, an LAPD detective, left the department a year ago due to sexism, demoralization, and never-ending red tape. However, Ballard reclaims her badge and leaves "the Late Show" to reassemble the cold case section at the prestigious Robbery-Homicide Division when the head of police himself advises her that she may write her ticket inside the department.
Harry Bosch has been investigating the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who is still at large for years. It is a case that bothers him but one he has never been able to solve. Ballard extends an invitation to Bosch to join her as a volunteer investigator in the recently established Open-Unsolved Unit. By doing so, he will have the support of the LAPD to pursue his "white whale."
In order to collaborate once again and pursue a lethal assailant, the two must set aside their past grudges. This brand-new book, which is relentless and powerful, proves once again why "Connelly is the real deal" (Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review).
