Seller's Description:
Very Good in None Issued jacket. 388 pages. Book is in Very good condition throughout. A Bullet Has Taken Ten Years To Find Its Mark, But Bosch Is On The Case.
Most of Connelly's book have a "can't put down" vibe to them. I found this one to be plodding about, the end seemed forced, "out of nowhere." You still need to read because some events are referenced later, so you don't want to be out of the loop.

After a Slow Start, Bosch Races to the Conclusion
Retirement is getting closer to Harry Bosch, who is working LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, dealing with cold cases. Lest the reader think Harry may run out of work, we are assured that there are 10,000 unsolved murders on the books.
Harry has a new partner, Lucia Soto, a 28 year-old Mexican-American who jumped into the limelight following a shoot-out at a liquor store. With no real experience, Soto is moved to Open-Unsolved and is paired with the ?old silverback.?
This case in unique; the shooting took place 10 years ago, but the victim (Orlando Merced) has just died. With that death, the bullet can be extracted and analyzed ? which gives Bosch and Soto new leads.
?The Burning Room? refers to a decades-old fire in an apartment which killed several children and an adult. I thought the way Bosch connects Orlando's shooting to the apartment fire to be a bit far-fetched, but otherwise, the story was pure Michael Connelly.
There's some sadness as Bosch sees himself as a relic from the past versus Soto's easy use of the latest technologies. My favorite part was Bosch's interaction with his daughter when she gets a rare date. We find that Harry makes his daughter tell any intended date that her father is a detective with LAPD and has a gun. What a hoot!
The early part of the story is slow; then ?momentum? takes over and the story races to its conclusion.
