I reread this one b/c the new season of Bosch incorporates this book and I remembered literally nothing of it from my earlier read. Now I know why. If this isn't the weakest entry in the Bosch series, it must be close. The ending is so rushed that this feels like barely more than a novella. Con...

Borrowing a word from a reviewer at Amazon.com, this is an "interlude" from usual Harry Bosch novel. It is quick - it throws some big plots about terrorism and radiation (gosh, why does it always have to be Muslims?) but then when it unravels, it simply a case of banal motivation. But still, we dese...
