Limousineadvokaten Michael Haller har haft et par hårde år, siden han overlevede et skuddrama, hvor han dræbte et menneske og selv blev hårdt såret. Men nu ser det ud til at vende for den tidligere så kyniske jurist. Hans ven og kollega, den succesrige forsvarsadvokat Jerry Vincent, er blevet fundet død i sin bil – skudt på klos hold – og Haller er til sin store overraskelse blevet udpeget til at overtage Vincents firma og dermed også mange af hans lukrative sager. Men mens han gennemgår den lange liste med mulige nye klienter, går det op for ham, at Vincents morder kan gemme sig dér og højst sandsynligt nu også kan være ude efter ham. Det er LAPD-detektiven Harry Bosch, der efterforsker den brutale nedskydning, og han er fast besluttet på at finde Vincents morder, også hvis det betyder, at han må bruge Mike Haller som madding. Haller og Bosch er ikke hinandens kop te, men i takt med at mordsagen spidser til, indser de to mænd, at de er nødt til at arbejde sammen, hvis de skal have en chance for at slippe fra det med livet i behold. Og måske har de i virkeligheden mere til fælles, end de er klar over.
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.
When an LAPD narcotics officer is found with a fatal bullet wound and a suicide note, Detective Harry Bosch follows a bloody trail of drug murders across the Mexico border. Narcotics officer Cal Moore's orders were to look into the city's latest drug killing. Instead, he ends up in a motel room with a fatal bullet wound to the head and a suicide note stuffed in his back pocket. Working the case, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is reminded of the primal police rule he learned long ago: Don't look for the facts, but the glue that holds them together. Soon Harry's making some very dangerous connections, starting with a dead cop and leading to a bloody string of murders that wind from Hollywood Boulevard to the back alleys south of the border. Now this battle-scarred veteran will find himself in the center of a complex and deadly game--one in which he may be the next and likeliest victim.
The stakes have never been higher: when DNA evidence frees a sadistic killer, defense attorney Mickey Haller and LAPD Detective Harry Bosch must put him behind bars before he strikes again. Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years. With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.

In this classic from a #1 "New York Times" bestselling author, Detective Harry Bosch thought he'd stopped the serial killer known as the Dollmaker. Now the dead man's widow is suing Harry and the LAPD for shooting the wrong man--an accusation that rings true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature.
After what seems like a routine murder investigation, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch finds himself in Hong Kong facing the highest-stakes case of his life: bringing his kidnapped daughter home. Harry Bosch is assigned a homicide call in South L. A. that takes him to Fortune Liquors, where the Chinese owner has been shot to death behind the counter in an apparent robbery. Joined by members of the department's Asian Crime Unit, Bosch relentlessly investigates the killing and soon identifies a suspect, a Los Angeles member of a Hong Kong triad. But before Harry can close in, he gets the word that his young daughter Maddie, who lives in Hong Kong with her mother, is missing. Bosch drops everything to journey across the Pacific to find his daughter. Could her disappearance and the case be connected? With the stakes of the investigation so high and so personal, Bosch is up against the clock in a new city, where nothing is at it seems.
Harry Bosch er tilbage i Los Angeles politikorps, hvor han arbejder sammen med sin gamle makker Kiz Rider i LAPDs afdeling for uopklarede sager. En dna-rapport fra et mystisk dødsfald tilbage i 1988 bliver startskuddet til den hærdede detektivs første sag i sin nye afdeling. Dengang fandt man en død sekstenårig pige ved foden af et træ på Oat Mountain, ikke langt fra hendes hjem. Hun var død af et enkelt skud direkte gennem hjertet. Det kunne ikke fastslås, om hun havde begået selvmord, og der var aldrig blevet anholdt nogen mistænkte i sagen. Med nye dna-teknikker, der ikke var tilgængelige i 1988, åbner der sig også helt nye spor i den næsten 20 år gamle sag, og Bosch må erfare, at ligegyldigt hvor efterforskningen fører ham hen, er de gamle sår stadig uhyggeligt åbne. Sagen trækker desuden spor langt ind i korpsets rækker, og Bosch begynder at få mistanke om, at han kun har fået lov til at komme tilbage, fordi man manglede en syndebuk.
After what seems like a routine murder investigation, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch finds himself in Hong Kong facing the highest-stakes case of his life: bringing his kidnapped daughter home. Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L. A. neighborhood, a store Bosch has known for years. The murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find the killer. The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory. He brings in a detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation -- not just of languages but also of the cultural norms and expectations that guided Li's life. He uncovers a link to a Hong Kong triad, a lethal and far-reaching crime ring that follows many immigrants to their new lives in the U. S. And instantly his world explodes. The one good thing in Bosch's life, the person he holds most dear, is taken from him and Bosch travels to Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he's lost. In a place known as Nine Dragons, as the city's Hungry Ghosts festival burns around him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad's ferocity.
