About the book
Harry Bosch is a Los Angeles homicide detective and Vietnam War veteran who once served as a tunnel rat. Demoted to the Hollywood Division after a controversial killing, he becomes curious when Billy Meadows, a fellow tunnel rat and friend, is found dead of an apparent overdose. Suspecting a link to a recent bank robbery carried out through tunnels, Bosch brings the matter to the FBI, where he is paired with agent Eleanor Wish. Together they follow Meadows' trail to a halfway house for traumatized veterans and into a wider web of wartime connections.
