When an LAPD narcotics officer is found with a fatal bullet wound and
a suicide note, Detective Harry Bosch follows a bloody trail of drug
murders across the Mexico border.
Working the case, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is reminded of the primal
police rule he learned long ago: Don't look for the facts, but the glue
that holds them together. Soon Harry's making some very dangerous
connections, starting with a dead cop and leading to a bloody string of
murders that wind from Hollywood Boulevard to the back alleys south of
the border. Now this battle-scarred veteran will find himself in the
center of a complex and deadly game-one in which he may be the next and
likeliest victim.
