Fed up with the hypocrisy of the LAPD, Harry Boschhas resigned and is forced to find a new way of life.But retirement doesn’t suit him. He has always devotedhimself to justice and is still drawn toward protecting-or avenging-those whom the law has failed. When he left the LAPD, Bosch took a file with him, the case ofa murder on a movie set during a two million dollar robberyfour years earlier. The LAPD-now operating under post 9/11rules-believe the stolen money was used to finance a terroristtraining camp. Thoughts of the original murder victim are lostin the federal zeal, and when it seems the killer will be set freeto aid the feds’ terrorist hunt, Bosch quickly finds himself inconflict with both his old colleagues and the FBI. He cannotrest until he finds the killer-with or without a badge.
