The arrested man is only twenty-four, so the genetic link must be familial: His father was the Pillowcase Rapist, responsible for a five-year reign of terror in the city of angels. But when Ballard and her team move in on their suspect, they encounter a baffling web of secrets and legal hurdles. Meanwhile, Ballard's badge, gun, and ID are stolen--a theft she can't report without giving her enemies in the department ammunition to end her career as a detective. She works the burglary alone, but her mission draws her into unexpected danger. With no choice but to go outside the department for help, she knocks on the door of Harry Bosch. At the same time, Ballard takes on a new volunteer to the cold case unit: Bosch's daughter Maddie, now a patrol officer. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city's library of lost souls--a case that may be the most iconic in the city's history. -- Provided by publisher Bosch, Harry Fiction 12536 Ballard, Renée (Fictitious character) Fiction 9647 Women detectives Fiction 6609 Policewomen Fiction 5868 Murder Investigation Fiction 484 Rape Fiction 13218 Fathers and sons Fiction 8079 Serial rape investigation Fiction 18974 Inspectrices de police (CaQQLa)201-0338552 Romans, nouvelles, etc. (CaQQLa)201-0377299 12622 Policières (CaQQLa)201-0063616 Romans, nouvelles, etc. (CaQQLa)201-0377299 18975 Meurtre (CaQQLa)201-0131276 Enquêtes (CaQQLa)201-0131276 Romans, nouvelles, etc. (CaQQLa)201-0377299 12621 Pères et fils (CaQQLa)201-0058273 Romans, nouvelles, etc. (CaQQLa)201-0377299 18976 Crimes non résolus (CaQQLa)201-0424282 Romans, nouvelles, etc. (CaQQLa)201-0377299 11519 Los Angeles (Calif.)
