They called him the Dollmaker-the serial killer who stalked Los Angeles and left a grisly calling card on the faces of his female victims. With a single faultless shot， Detective Harry Bosch thought he had ended the city s nightmare... But then the dead man s widow sues Harry and the LAPD for killing the wrong man-an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker s macabre signature... Now， for the second time， Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive， before he strikes again. It s a blood-tracked quest that will take Harry from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go-the darkness of his own heart.
