In 1993 Marie Gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket. Harry Bosch worked the case but couldn't crack it, and the twenty-two-year-old was never found. Now, more than a decade later, with the Gesto file still on his desk, Bosch gets a call from the District Attorney. A man accused of two heinous murders is willing to come clean about several others, including the killing of Marie Gesto. Taking the confession of the man he has sought-and hated-for thirteen years is bad enough. Discovering that he missed a clue back in 1993 that could have stopped nine other murders may just be the straw that breaks Harry Bosch.

Harry Bosch is a believable LA detective. A man confesses to a murder that has haunted Harry for over a decade. The confessor is not Harry's prime suspect, leading him to worry about his instincts.

Great Harry Bosch book that has wild, convoluted twists. Just when you think you have a handle on who is doing what, something else happens and your theory is shot to pieces. Great read.

If you are a Harry Bosch fan already, you will love this one. If you aren't, and you like detective mysteries - this book will really grab you. An excellent author with another excellent book - one that will keep you up all night until you can figure out who did it!

Topnotch, suspenseful and a compelling thriller! sMichael Connelly's books are always superior crime fiction.

It's good but not great. There's an interesting plot twist near the end however this book was not as suspenseful as I'd hoped it would be. This is the first book in the Harry Bosch series that I've read, not sure if I will read another.
