Harry Bosch is facing the end of the line at the LAPD. He’s been put on the DROP-Deferred Retirement Option Plan-and has three years before his retirement is enforced. Anxious to maximise his remaining time, Bosch is relieved when a rape and murder cold case gets a DNA hit pointing to a 29-year-old convicted rapist. Then a city councilman’s son is found dead and the father insists on Bosch taking the case-despite their history of enmity. Spiralling around each other like a DNA double helix, one case unearths a lead to a 30-year-hidden killer, while the other cracks open a political conspiracy that reaches deep into the shadowy history of the LAPD. What is it going to take to bring evil to justice?
