An exciting and riveting mystery Harry Bosch is working in the Open-Unsolved Unit of the LAPD and occasionally reviews the thirteen year old case of Marie Gesto, one that he just can’t let go.

A 13 year old murder, a deception inside a deception & corrupt money!

Harry just cannot wrap his mind around this offer, feeling in his mind that the wrong guy is taking a fall for a murder he didn't commit. It all falls together, but not really.
