Harry Bosch is getting older (aren’t we all?), his knees cracking as he stands up from reviewing the victim. A convenience store murder, a robbery gone badly has significance for Harry. A chance encounter ten years before with the deceased has Harry taking a closer look at the circumstances of the case. His investigation leads him to the Asian gangs in Los Angeles and eventually to the Triads in Hong Kong. Things become personal when Harry’s daughter is kidnapped. What ensues will have a major impact on Harry’s life. Intertwined plot lines kept my interest to the very last sentence.
