The discovery of a murdered former Vietnam tunnel rat draws LAPD detective Harry Bosch into a homicide investigation tied to his own wartime past. Working with the FBI, Bosch navigates pressure from within his department and a criminal heist beneath the city, while the case raises a conflict between pursuing justice and seeking vengeance. The novel brings together police procedure, the aftereffects of combat, and the demands of a case that is both professional and personal.

Book overview

An LAPD homicide detective must choose between justice and vengeance as he teams up with the FBI in this "thrilling" novel filled with mystery and adventure (New York Times Book Review).

For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal . . . because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit. Pitted against enemies inside his own department and forced to make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, Bosch goes on the hunt for a killer whose true face will shock him.
