Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder.
If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again..
With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all.
Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.
Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger.
Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.
After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence.
