Angels Flight
When civil-rights attorney Howard Elias is shot dead aboard Angels Flight, the little funicular railway that climbs Bunker Hill in downtown Los Angeles, no detective in the city wants the case. Elias built his reputation — and made plenty of enemies — suing the LAPD for brutality and racism, and on the eve of his biggest trial every officer in the department is a potential suspect.
Harry Bosch is handed the investigation anyway. With the city's racial tensions near a flashpoint and the national press watching his every move, he has to work the murder from inside the very institution most likely to have wanted Elias dead, chasing the truth about the case the attorney was poised to blow open. All the while, Bosch's own marriage is quietly coming apart, adding a private ache to an already impossible assignment.
The sixth Harry Bosch novel is a tense, morally charged procedural about policing the police — and about a detective forced to decide how far he can trust the badge he wears.
