Book Description:
When the bones of a twelve-year-old boy are found scattered in the Hollywood Hills, Harry Bosch is drawn into a case that brings up the darkest memories from his own haunted past. The bones have been buried for years, but the cold case doesn't deter Bosch. Unearthing hidden stories, he finds the child's identity and reconstructs his fractured life, determined that he won't be forgotten. At the same time, a new love affair with a female cop begins to blossom for Bosch - until a stunningly blown mission leaves him in more trouble than ever before in his turbulent career. The investigation races to a shocking conclusion and leaves Bosch on the brink of an unimaginable decision.

Harry Bosch is a likable Homicide detective cop; this story is about finding the bones of a child buried in a shallow grave in the hills of L.A. Harry and his partner have to first identify the victim then find the murderer. This was my first Connelly book and I enjoyed it. I definitely will look for more from this author.

On New Year's Day a dog finds a bone in the Hollywood Hills and unearths a murder committed over 20 years ago. It's a cold case but Det. Bosch can't let it go.Bosch is taken deeper into the past but a beautiful rookie cop brings him alive in the present.

Yet another great book from one of the masters of mystery/crime fiction. This, the 8th entry in the venerable Harry Bosch series is a classic as always. A lost boy found in a hidden grave leads to a decades-old mystery. For the LAPD detective, this cold case stirs up memories of his own childhood as an orphan. The story is explosive and takes some hard turns that create an uproar that effects all of LA.

Debbie B. (I loved this book a lot. Have been reading the Harry Bosch series in order (this is #8) and this was in the top 3 of the series so far. Unexpected plot twists keep you guessing. A real page-turner.
Again, a quick read, fast pace, good story and a great question comes up as well.
Another fabulous Harry Bosch book - Michael Connelly is one of my "must read" authors, I would recommend any of his books.
Definitely a good mystery read, but this book is more about the chain reaction a 25 year old murder discovery creates among the people who intersect with the investigation. Very down to earth and (in most respects) believable.
FYI: Contains a story line about child abuse
3.5 stars out of 5
