Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But his first case is a little more than he bargained for. It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what looks like "trunk music," a Mafia hit. But the LAPD's organized crime unit is curiously uninterested, and when Harry follows a trail of gambling debts to Las Vegas, the case suddenly becomes more complex - and much more personal. A rekindled romance with an old girlfriend opens new perspectives on the murder, and he begins to glimpse a shocking triangle of corruption and collusion. Yanked off the case, Harry himself is soon the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harry when he's searching for the truth . . .

Hours after Priscilla Eads pleads with him to take her case, Nero Wolfe is shocked to find out that she was murdered, and soon he is investigating her fortune-hunting husband and greedy business associates.

De door de wol geverfde misdaadverslaggever Jack McEvoy denkt inmiddels te weten hoe je met de dood moet omgaan. Totdat hij wordt geconfronteerd met de zelfmoord van zijn enige broer: zíjn dood is anders… Zijn broer kan hij maar één keer verliezen… Jack kan die zelfmoord niet begrijpen. Hij wist dat zijn broer, een inspecteur bij Moordzaken, het moeilijk kon verkroppen dat hij een brute moord nog niet had opgelost. Maar zou hij zich daarom van kant maken? Jacks instinct zegt hem dat hier iets niet klopt. En zijn professionele drijfveer om de onderste steen boven te krijgen wordt nu gevoed door persoonlijke motieven. Zijn verlangen naar gerechtigheid is ontembaar, maar de risico's die Jack neemt zijn onverantwoord. Ineens staat hij midden in een razendspannend psychologisch drama en is hij zijn eigen leven niet meer zeker.

Thanks to a heart transplant, former FBI agent Terrell McCaleb is enjoying a quiet retirement, renovating the fishing boat he lives on in Los Angeles Harbor. But McCaleb's calm seas turn choppy when a story in the "What Happened To?" column of the LA Times brings him face-to-face with the sister of the woman whose heart now beats in his chest. From her, McCaleb learns a terrible truth: that the donor of his heart was not killed in an accident, as he'd been told, but was murdered. Wracked with guilt over the fact that he's alive because another human being was killed, McCaleb embarks on a private investigation of his donor's murder - a crime as horrific as anything he ever encountered as a serial killer investigator for the FBI.
