Review
I always thought that through Bosch’s life, Michael Connelly had always described the current situation in the United States well. Thus, in this book we can see the state of the country, and within that, the state of the police. The country is divided and its political and judicial system is in ruins. Nothing works, silly and incompetent people fill all positions, removing those who might be suitable and who could change that situation.
My favorite crime detective has always been Harry Bosch. That’s why I wanted him to be the protagonist in this book, too. I accept that was not the case, Bosch grew old, retired. But I’m glad he’s still involved in the investigations, even if he’s no longer a senior detective. Ballard is sympathetic too, you could say she's a female version of Harry.
The first half of the book was a bit slow, but in the second half, things got bustling, and the story became at least as exciting as Michael Connelly’s other books.
