El último coyote in Bloomington, MN

Harry Bosch is on the edge. His earthquake-damaged home has been condemned, his girlfriend has left him, and he's drinking too much. After attacking his commanding officer, he even had to turn in his badge. Suspended indefinitely pending a psychiatric evaluation, he's spending his time investigating an unsolved crime from 1961--the brutal slaying of a prostitute who happened to be his own mother.
