    This is one of Michael Connelly's most detailed and intriguing detective novel. From the start the reader is drawn into a cleverly planned plot that engages the mind as well as the heart. For those who like something to chew on, to get their teeth into as it were, this is the book. The plot is built up with consummate skill. No detail is neglected. The murders are horrific but Connelly doesn't dwell on them. He is mainly concerned to present Bosch as a man - a private detective, no longer in the LAPD - who searches out every detail he can to enable him to move the case forward. The story includes some great characters, and Bosch deals with them in his own inimitable way. A great story - one full of emotion and excitement!
