In the LAPD's Open Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet ten years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any other evidence is virtually non-existent. Now Bosch and his new partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case. Starting with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information which soon reveals that this shooting may have been anything but random.

Retraite ou pas retraite ? L'inspecteur Harry Bosch s'interroge encore quand on le charge de deux dossiers... Le premier - le viol suivi du meurtre d'une jeune fille - remonte a 1989 et les tests ADN viennent de designer le coupable : Clayton Pell... 8 ans au moment des faits ! Peu credible, donc. Dans le meme temps, Bosch est appele sur une scene de crime au Chateau Marmont, le celebre hotel de Los Angeles, ou un homme est tombe du septieme etage. Suicide, crime ou accident ? Le pere de la victime, un conseiller municipal tres puissant a L.A., veut en avoir le coeur net et exige assez curieusement que l'enquete soit confiee a Bosch, son vieil ennemi de toujours. Politiciens corrompus, predateurs sexuels... Harry Bosch a fort a faire, et surtout pas le temps de s'apitoyer sur lui-meme.

Terry McCaleb ha sido uno de los más brillantes agentes del FBI especializados en asesinos en serie. Hasta que su reciente trasplante de corazón ha hecho aconsejable llevar una vida mucho más sosegada, ocupandose de reparar el barco en el que vive en el puerto de Los Çngeles. Pero cuando Graciela Rivers le pide que investigue el brutal asesinato de su hermana Gloria durante un atraco no puede negarse a ayudarla. El motivo es poderoso: el corazon que ahora palpita en su pecho es el de Gloria. Y lo que inicialmente parece una muerte fruto de un desgraciado azar no tarda en revelar los inquietantes manejos de una retorcida mente psicopatica, de un criminal mas diabolico que ninguno de los que ha tenido que perseguir McCaleb con anterioridad.

Por otro lado, aparece el cadaver del hijo del concejal Irving, que al parecer se ha tirado E—o lo han empujado— desde una de las ventanas del lujoso hotel Chateau Marmont.
