They are the kind of ritualized killings McCaleb specialized in solving with the FBI, and he is reluctantly drawn from his peaceful new life back into the horror and excitement of tracking down a terrifying homicidal maniac. More horrifying still, the suspect who seems to fit the profile that McCaleb develops is someone he has known and worked with in the past: LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch. |

Praise
Book
"Thankfully, Connelly plays it low-key.... The two cases come together in a surprising--and ultimately satisfying--way." - Randy Michael Signor January/February 2001 New York Times
"In the end Mr. Connelly does concoct a sufficiently tangled web of clues for Terry, but the book's moodier side seems inflated. The title and the noir aspirations come from Raymond Chandler, but Mr. Connelly has to strain this time to find a darkness of his own." - Janet Maslin 01/25/2001 Wall Street Journal
"[T]he parallels between that apocalyptic Dutch painter's frightening universe and Bosch's Los Angeles--a modern-day garden of unearthly delights--are drawn with horrible force." - Tom Nolan 03/04/2001 Entertainment Weekly
"What should have been [Connelly's] most inspired yarn yet is perfunctory and formulaic." - Jeff Jensen 02/09/2001 Chicago Tribune
"The strength of the characters and clarity of Connelly's vision will help most readers maintain a willing suspension of disbelief. Again, too, Los Angeles provides an ideal platform for the author's musings on good and evil, and his storytelling here is typically lean and mean." - Gary Dretzka 03/04/2001
