4.5 stars. 
This was a great installment in the Harry Bosch series. I love the procedural aspects which are always incredibly documented. Both crimes Harry was investigating were interesting, the political aspects were never boring and the stakes always high. Both cases were very different therefore there was something for everyone in this volume. I also enjoyed the family time and Harry's relationships with everyone around him, his partner or love interest. Looking forward to the next one!

Another excellent Bosch procedural by Connelly!

What's better than a case pursued by Bosch? Two cases!

As a member of the Unsolved-Cold Case unit, he and his partner receive a DNA hit on a 20-year-old case of a missing young woman -- when the suspect was just eight years old.

But before they could get started, though, Bosch is personally requested to work a current case which appears to be a suicide. Or is it a murder? And the person who made the request? Bosch's old boss and nemesis, and current councilman, Irvin Irving, because the victim is Irving's son. And as much as he hates Bosch, he knows Bosch will not quit until the answer is found.

Bosch has to go through dealing with Irving, his upcoming forced retirement, his partner who is leaking information about the active case, and his 15-year-old daughter. All while he solves both cases, the former which becomes a much bigger case than expected as it goes back many years.

Harry Bosch has been given three years before he must retire from the LAPD, and he wants cases more fiercely than ever. In one morning, he gets two. DNA from a 1989 rape and murder matches a 29-year-old convicted rapist. Was he an eight-year-old killer or has something gone terribly wrong in the new Regional Crime Lab? The latter possibility could compromise all of the lab's DNA cases currently in court. Then Bosch and his partner are called to a death scene fraught with internal politics. Councilman Irvin Irving's son jumped or was pushed from a window at the Chateau Marmont. Irving, Bosch's longtime nemesis, has demanded that Harry handle the investigation. Relentlessly pursuing both cases, Bosch makes two chilling discoveries: a killer operating unknown in the city for as many as three decades, and a political conspiracy that goes back into the dark history of the police department.

When evidence links a brutal murder in 1989 to a convicted rapist named Clayton Pell, the case should be watertight. Pell's DNA was found on the victim - but he was only eight years old at the time. This is not the only mystery Harry Bosch has to solve. A man jumped - or was pushed - from a window. The victim's father is Councilman Irving, who's been intent on destroying Harry's career for years. Now Irving wants Harry to head up the investigation. Harry uncovers traces of two of the city's deepest secrets: a killer operating for as many as three decades without being detected, and a conspiracy that goes back into the dark history of the police department...
