Former FBI Agent Terry McCaleb, last seen in Blood Work, has taken up a new life on Catalina Island with his wife Graciella, adopted son Raymond, and new baby daughter. Rather than profiling serial killers, he makes a living with his charter boat. Then Jaye Winston, who worked with him in Blood Work, arrives to ask him to help on another murder case. Edward Gunn had been arrested by Harry Bosch some years ago during the events of Concrete Blonde but walked thanks to the intervention of Lt. Harvey Pounds. Oddly enough, Pounds is also dead and his case is open. After a bit of investigating, McCaleb suspects Bosch!
Meanwhile, Bosch is part of the prosecution at a murder trial of noted director David Story. Story is accused of strangling an aspiring actress and then posing her body as if she accidentally killed herself. Bosch is the chief investigator and also heard Story admit to the crime. He is the linchpin of the prosecution's case against Story. As such, it would be disastrous if he were suddenly implicated in the murder of Edward Gunn.
Jack McEvoy, last seen in The Poet, is reporting on the Story case for a local paper when he gets a tip about Bosch being under investigation. He confronts both Bosch and McCaleb, both of whom want to know who his source is. He intends to write the story which will be published during the defense phase of the Story trial.
Here is a book that brings back three of Connelly's protagonists in a case that, once again, has no coincidences. Highly recommended.
