I love the Harry Bosch series, so going back to read some of the earlier books in the series since have read the newer ones. Very suspenseful as Harry deals with the politics of the LAPD.

An activist attorney is killed in a cute little L.A. trolley called Angels Flight, far from Harry Bosch's Hollywood turf. But the case is so explosive--and the dead man's enemies inside the L.A.P.D. are so numerous--that it falls to Harry to solve it. Now the streets are superheating. Harry's year-old Vegas marriage is unraveling. And the hunt for a killer is leading Harry to another high-profile L.A. murder case, one where every cop had a motive.

I'm reading the Bosch novels in order. This one was very satisfying in that one of our least favorite characters in the series is done but unsatisfying in that his relationship with his wife is on the rocks. The background of the LAPD following the Rodney King and OJ Simpson events is really interesting, especially considering all the other episodes of cops killing Black people around the country in the last few years.

One of his better books. More plot twists than one can count and all pulled together neatly. Having children myself the twists there were bothersome and it makes me angry that children are treated that way. But couldn't put the book down.
