Harry Bosch and his team are called to a crime scene - two people have been killed on a tram in an area of LA called Angel's Flight. What surprises Harry are the numbers of police who are already on the scene. He soon finds out that a high profile lawyer and activist is one of the victims - Howard Elias is most well known for suing the LAPD. He is about to bring a big case to court the following week. Bosch thinks this must be why Elias was killed. The court case involves Michael Harris who was suing the LAPD for torturing him while trying to get him to confess to the kidnap and murder of a young girl, Stacey Kincaid. The FBI is also called in and Bosch gets them to look into all of Elias' past court cases to see if there are any red flags. Harry and his team re-investigate the death of Stacey Kincaid. The whole time the investigations are going on, Harry is dealing with issues in his personal life, his friendship with his former partner Francis Sheehan, and the powder keg that the city is becoming. I'm liking Harry Bosch more and more as this series goes on.

This was my second time listening to the audio of this one. The story is great, as usual. However the reader was changed to Peter Giles for this book, and I just don't like his narration as much as the others. Of all of the various narrators, Titus Welliver is my favorite, for obvious reasons (he IS Bosch). But Dick Hill, who reads books 1-5, also does a great job. It's still enjoyable, but the way Giles does Bosch is just too much of a put on gruffness that irritates me and makes me think he must have ended this job with a terrifically sore throat.
TL,DR: Great story. Decent but not great narrating.
