Harry's back from retirement and is chomping at the bit to get back in the old groove.
He's on probation though, as the new chief has stuck his neck out for Harry, whom some cops think is now past it.
Assigned to the unsolved crimes unit, his first case strikes home in the first 10 minutes!!!
Now that Bosch is a father, with and adorable little girl to love, the death of other young girls has become personal for him.
Harry and Kis make a great team, but this case is tricky, perhaps because of some underhanded politicking by the weaselly assistant chief Irving.
The Closers is more a police procedural than a mystery, set in the time period when DNA evidence was coming into its own as a legit technique.
Harry nearly blows his return on several occasions, but, mainly because of his tenacity and intelligence, he and Kis get their man and deliver some belated justice to the victim's heartbroken parents.
Police work at its best.
This is not the most exciting of the Harry Bosch novels, but it is one of the most satisfying.
