This was a very decent Bosch return to action. I enjoyed it a lot even though I extremely early on figured out the angles and the sub-plot. Maybe I have been reading too much Connelly lately and I can identify the giveaways too quick. 
 One thing I am becoming a little jaded from is the constant need for Connelly to insert a love interest into every Bosch novel (if not every main character of his other novels as well, Terry McCaleb, Jack Mcevoy among others). I can't speak yet for Mickey Haller, but I can only assume there will be one. 
 So a small spoiler and one that I instant thought out of place and not thought out: <*spoiler*> At a point in the novel, a character jumps out of the trunk of a vehicle and starts shooting guns blazing. That isn't what I found silly, what I found wrong was the series of events that follow. The details given state that the man had been hiding in the trunk for 4 hours. That too not dumb, but when combined with the following make it unbelievable. The book continues to explain that the this took place in Nevada, and that the weather was extremely hot. Almost to the 100's. Now if anyone has ever been in a car with the windows rolled up and the engine off, in mere seconds the heat intensifies. Now imagine that heat, for 4 freakin' hours. That individual would have been near death or already dead.<*/spoiler*> 
 But other than that I did like the story.
