Harry Bosch. Even retired he knows just what to do to solve a case. This ones an interesting one being that Harry has retired and Mickey wants him to work for him as an investigator - for him, a defense lawyer. Bosch has queries about it and wants to look at the case and see where it leads him before he can commit to anything. He doesn't want to play for the other side now.
As things build momentum and Harry gets on the case, he's his usual self, basically a bull at gate leaving no stone unturned. We all know he likes even the smallest loose ends to be tied up. Harry is damn good at what he does and the thing that keep him going is that if Mickeys client really is innocent, the real killer is still somewhere out there.
Slowly things come together and then it all starts to make a whole lot of sense. Seeing Harry work this from the outside without the power of actually being in law enforcement is quite interesting. Typical Bosch style though, get to the bottom of things he does, and then everything makes sense.
A great book with all the usual quirks of Harry Bosch, returning characters from previous boos in the series, and of course a bit more of Mickey Haller than usual. A must read for all fans of both Bosch and Haller.
Everybody counts or nobody counts. Right?
