A year has passed since LAPD detective Renée Ballard quit the force in the face of misogyny, demoralisation, and endless red tape. Yet, after the chief of police himself tells her she can write her ticket within the department, Ballard takes back her badge, leaving ‘the Late Show’ to rebuild the cold case unit at the elite Robbery-Homicide Division. For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him but that he hasn’t been able to crack – the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free. Ballard makes Bosch an offer: come work with her as a volunteer investigator in the new Open-Unsolved Unit, and he can pursue his ‘white whale’ with the resources of the LAPD behind him. The two must put aside old resentments to work together again and close in on a dangerous killer.

Description

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…
