This is the 9th book in the Harry Bosch series. This is the first book after Harry has left the LAPD and turned private detective. I gave it three stars because it was a good continuation of the series and a good crime/mystery to solve but it focused on a cold case that lacked urgency and Harry did something really stupid. Harry is driven and has a moral compass and integrity that he always holds onto but in this case he acted like he was owed justice, that he was above the law and better than the law, with no good explanation as to why - he had no real investment in the victim or crime so it didn't make a lot of sense as to why he acted as he did. I think the idea was that without the LAPD we was lost and that's been resolved at the very end which I won't spoil.

The vision has haunted him for four years--a young woman lying crumpled in death, her hand outstretched in silent supplication. Harry Bosch was taken off the Angella Benton murder case when the production assistant's death was linked with the violent theft of two million dollars from a movie set. Both files were never closed. Now retired from the L.A.P.D., Bosch is determined to find justice for Angella. Without a badge to open doors and strike fear into the guilty, he's on his own. And even in the face of an opponent more powerful and ruthless than any he's ever encountered, Bosch is not backing down.
