" I had gone off Connelly for a while, because he was getting too formulaic. This book still has the usual elements, petty police bickering, bad politicians, a fast romance for Harry Bosch, some mean, mean criminals and as usual Harry gets it straightened away, while listening to smooth jazz. It may fall from a mold, but I enjoyed this as a fun read. I had been working like a crazy man and looked forward to some stupid down time. The writing is good, crisp dialog, and the pace of the adventure is fast, so there you go. In this story, Harry has a long time open murder case that suddenly appears to solve itself. Almost too good to be true, and guess what? IT IS. "
