About this listen

THE WORLDWIDE #1 BESTSELLER BEHIND AMAZON PRIME'S BOSCH AND NETFLIX'S THE LINCOLN LAWYER

SOME CRIMES YOU CAN'T FORGET.

OTHERS YOU CAN'T FORGIVE.

Detective Renée Ballard is given the chance to revive the LAPD's cold case unit and find justice for the families of the forgotten. The only catch is she must first unravel an unsolved murder, or lose this opportunity of a lifetime...

Harry Bosch is top of the list of investigators Ballard wants to recruit. The ex-detective is a living legend - but for how long?

Because Bosch has his own agenda: a crime that has haunted him for years - the murder of a whole family, buried out in the desert - which he vowed to close.

With the killer still out there and evidence elusive, Bosch is on a collision course with a choice he hoped never to make...

'Cements Connelly's reputation as the master of modern crime fiction' EXPRESS

I just love Harry Bosch and having spent 20+ years in southern California and Los Angeles feel such affinity with the stories. I also started a jeep franchise in 1993 and have a great fondness for the jeep Cherokee that he treasures. It was a great vehicle and so popular in the UK, I’m now about to embark on my last Harry Bush book out of sequence I know but I’m sure I will enjoy it

Brilliant, Connolly, a his best

Wow

Very satisfying - everything falling into place in the last few chapters - the book fulfils my expectations that the pictures Connolly creates are better than you’d get in a film or on tv.

Another winner.

Having read few Harry Bosch books and seen Titus Welliver play Bosch in the tv series, I was pleased to know he narrated this book. I could visualise the action better and found the split narration voices more engaging. I couldn't wait to push play each time and listened to it over three days, on holiday.

My first audiobook!

Exceptional detail, believable characters, totally absorbing plot, had me on the edge of my seat. No one writes police thrillers like Connelly.

Another stunner from Michael Connelly.
