Detective Harry Bosch was certain he had killed the serial murderer in LA who was committing a number of killings, but a recent incident has caused him to doubt his convictions.
The serial murderer known as the "Dollmaker" preys on women in Los Angeles and puts gruesome messages on their faces. After Detective Harry Bosch shoots a suspect, everyone thinks the city's nightmare is ended. The widow of the deceased man then sues Harry and the LAPD for murdering the wrong guy, a charge that becomes horrifyingly accurate when another body bearing the horrific mark of the Dollmaker is discovered. Harry has to find a vicious assassin before he strikes again for the second time. Harry will go from the harsh edges of the nightlife in Los Angeles to the darkest spot he has ever desired to visit—his own heart—while careening through a blood-tracked mission.
