<\/a>\u2018Things change.\u201d<\/p>\nOn his way to downtown L.A. from San Fernando, Harry Bosch reflects on how the landscape, the office he\u2019s going to, the former partner he\u2019s meeting, have all changed. Not to mention his own life, of course. After a bitter court battle with the L.A.P.D., which pitted him against both the department and many colleagues, Harry is retired now. He works as a volunteer for the San Fernando Police Department. The two bodies on his latest case were still warm, however, when Harry learned once again, the more things change, the more they stay the same.<\/p>\n
Harry\u2019s former partner and an L.A. D.A. show up in San Fernando to announce the release of a killer Harry put away \u2014 and it\u2019s Harry\u2019s fault. DNA found in the sealed evidence box exonerates the guy, meaning it looks as though Harry planted the piece of evidence that convicted the killer. If they prove their case, and they have solid evidence, Harry\u2019s credibility and career are fatally contaminated, as are all cases he solved. Harry knows he didn\u2019t do it; the reader knows he didn\u2019t do it. Harry muses that: \u201c\u2026there were two kinds of truth in this world. The truth that was the unalterable bedrock of one\u2019s life and mission. And the other, malleable truth of politicians, charlatans, corrupt lawyers, and their clients, bent and molded to serve whatever purpose was at hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
To get to the truth, Harry does what he does best \u2014 he pores over all the evidence again and again until he finds the piece that doesn\u2019t fit. With the help of his \u201cbrother from another mother,\u201d \u201cLincoln Lawyer \u201cMickey Haller, he unravels the case in a highly dramatic finale.<\/p>\n
But not before he tracks down the killers in the drug-related case in San Fernando. The case drops Harry into an undercover setting where his other case almost does him in. While deep in the situation, he meets someone who tests an \u201c\u2026essential brick\u201d in the wall of who he is. Faced with depravity and danger, he passes from sympathy to action. He does what he needed to do.<\/p>\n
So has Connelly, concocting once again what we have known all along, in a story we haven\u2019t heard before. He truly is a master of the genre.<\/p>\n
