"When Harry Bosch was just a rookie homicide detective, an inspiring mentor taught him to take the work personally and light the fire of relentlessness for every case. Now that mentor, John Jack Thompson, is dead, but his widow gives Bosch a murder book that Thompson took with him when he retired twenty years before--the unsolved killing of a troubled young man. Bosch takes the murder book to Detective Renée Ballard and asks her to help him discover what about this crime lit Thompson's fire all those years ago. While working her own cases on the midnight shift, Ballard begins to find aspects of the initial investigation that just don't add up. The bond between Bosch and Ballard tightens as they become a formidable investigative team. And they soon arrive at a disturbing question: Did Thompson steal the murder book to work the case himself--or to make sure it never got solved?" --book jacket
