Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved.

Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box", the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together. riots

She is a Scandinavian photographer/journalist. Years later the gun which killed her surfaces. It has been used to kill several other people. Harry investigates, seeking to close a cold case. On the face of it this is a straightforward novel, but the skills required for its execution are considerable.Given the novel's nature I do not want to spoil the reader's experience by saying too much about the details of the plot. Suffice to say that in this case we follow the gun (not the cash).Connel
