Summary
Harry Bosch investigates the
drug-trafficking underworlds of inner city Los Angeles and the
wastelands of Mexico. When a body is found in a hotel room, the
press soon pick up on the case: it appears to be the body of a
missing LAPD narcotics officer, apparently gone to the bad. The
rumours were that he had been selling a new drug called Black
Ice that had been infiltrating Los Angeles from Mexico. The
LAPD are quick to declare the death as a suicide, but Harry
Bosch is not so sure. There are odd, unexplained details from
the crime scene which just don't add up. Fighting an attraction
to the cop's widow, Bosh starts his own maverick investigation,
which soon leads him over the borders, and into a dangerous
world of shifting identities and deadly corruption...
