2000s: There are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness
Harry Bosch works cold cases as a volunteer for the San Fernando police department when he’s called out to a local drug store where a young pharmacist has been murdered. Bosch and the town’s three-person detective squad sift through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big business world of prescription drug abuse.
Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch’s LAPD days comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him and that there’s new evidence which proves it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his former colleagues aren’t keen to protect his reputation. He must fend for himself in clearing his name and keeping a clever killer in prison.
Bosch is a volunteer for the tiny San Fernando PD, spending his days in a converted jail cell going over cold cases. He’s here unless he’s out on the streets investigating what he’s just found out. Imagine working in an old cell and working on cold cases? That’s quite a premise for a book let alone the office of an investigator!
The mix of San Fernando and Los Angeles merges to form one wild and crazy world of Bosch:
“”People lie, the president lies, corporations lie and cheat…..The world is ugly and not many people are willing to stand up to it anymore”…
The city of Angels maybe but the city of Demons would be more the description to describe that of Bosch and
“Bosch’s relationship with the LAPD since his forced retirement three years earlier had been grained at best and his attorney had urged him to protect himself by documenting all interactions with the department”
