Cal Moore of the narcotics office was instructed to investigate the most recent drug-related homicide in the city. Rather, he finds himself in a hotel room suffering from a deadly head wound and a suicide note tucked into his back pocket.
As he works the case, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is reminded of a fundamental policing principle he was taught long ago: seek for the cohesive element rather than the facts.
Harry soon finds himself in the company of some extremely dangerous people, beginning with a deceased police officer and culminating in a grisly series of killings that snake from Hollywood Boulevard to the dark alleyways south of the border. Now, this war-wounded veteran is going to be the next and most likely victim in a deadly game that is rather complicated.
