The pulse-quickening new thriller from master of suspense Michael Connelly sees Harry Bosch plunged into the dangerous world of international terrorism. When a physicist is murdered in LA it seems the killer has no fear of publicity, leaving the body on The Mulholland overlook, a site with a stunning view over the city. And when it's discovered that the victim turned over a quantity of a lethal chemical to his killer before he died, Harry knows he has more than just a single death to worry about. Alongside the forces of Homeland Security, Harry realises he must solve the murder or face unimaginable consequences.

Another classic Connelly novel which will keep fans guessing until the end.  It is a rather short novel compared to most of his other work as it was only originally published for the New York Times Magazine and later extended.  The plot is set over a 12 hour period and there is not too much room for plot twists and turns, although the investigation is very detailed.  There is a lot of politics and backstabbing going on between Bosch and the FBI, where Bosch feels as though the case should be a homicide inquiry whereas the FBI feels it is a matter of National Security concern.

As it is only an expanded serialisation it feels a bit short and sometimes feels like you are reading the script to an episode of a television show.  Still a very good light read and all Michael Connelly fans and harry Bosch fans will enjoy it even if it isn't up to the usual standards.
