Author tour. In Bosch's case, the elusive quarry is the man who abducted a 22-year-old equestrian, Marie Gesto, in 1993. From Publishers Weekly Bestseller Connelly's compelling 12th Harry Bosch novel (after 2005's The Closers) offers some new wrinkles on a familiar theme—the aging detective haunted by the one who got away. Having returned to active duty as a member of the LAPD Open-Unsolved Unit, Bosch repeatedly pulls the file to see if he can discover something new and give some small

In confirming the confession Bosch must get close to the man he has sought for thirteen years. One of those murders, he says, is the killing of Marie Gesto. Bosch is now assigned to take Raynard Waits confession and to make sure the killer is not scamming authorities to avoid a date with death. But Bosch couldn t crack the case and the twenty-two-year-old woman never turned up, dead or alive. In 1993, Marie Gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket in Hollywood. A man accused of two heinous killings is willing to come clean in regard to several other murders in a deal to avoid the death penalty.
