I truly enjoy Michael Connelly novels.. They are fast paced, understandable plots. I like the 'returning' characters (kind of makes you think you know them). This novel reunited Haller, Bosch and Walling. A man who has spent 17 years in jail for abduction and murder, is getting a new trial based on DNA evidence. In a seemingly reckless move, Haller (working temporarily for the prosecution) lets the defendant, Jason Jessup out on his own recognizance. Is he hoping Jessup will mess up big time and there will be no need for a retrial? Jessup is put under constant surveillance by the city's most elite team - the SIS. The story realistically details how the prosecution sets up its case, the importance of the evidence and witnesses. Harry Bosch does fine detective work in locating the only living witness to the abduction as well as other evidence for the prosecution. It has an interesting twist, an exciting conclusion and a little teaser for perhaps another novel?? As always a very good read.
