Description

From the #1 bestselling author of the Harry Bosch and the Lincoln Lawyer series and who "is the master of the universe in which he lives" (Huffington Post), comes the gripping novel that inspired the film starring Clint Eastwood.

When Graciella Rivers steps onto his boat, ex-FBI agent Terrell McCaleb has no idea he's about to come out of retirement. He's recuperating from a heart transplant and avoiding anything stressful. But when Graciella tells him the way her sister, Gloria, was murdered, Terry realizes he has no choice. Now the man with the new heart vows to take down a predator without a soul. For Gloria's killer shatters every rule that McCaleb ever learned in his years with the Bureau-as McCaleb gets no more second chances at life...and just one shot at the truth.

    5 Stars. Awesome read! Connelly has officially filled the shoes of Robert B. Parker for me. He’s just that good. I never even knew this series existed, just finding it trying to read the Bosch Universe in order. Going to have to give the movie a shot, too. This was as good of a mystery that I have encountered. Great characters and it held until the right time. I thought I had it figured out but I was wrong. I’m actually glad that I was. Definitely looking forward to the two in the series left. Thank you, Michael Connelly.

    One of Michael Connelly’s best, even after a second read. Unfortunately the movie didn’t do the book justice.

  • Not one of his best
