Part of the Harry Bosch series
'Hill Street Blues' is a phrase used by LA cops to refer to guys who must see shrinks. The behavioral science unit is located on Hill Street. This is probably the reason for the name of the popular TV show.
Premise is similar to real-life author, James Ellroy.
Harry's mother was a prostitute who was murdered in 1961. The crime was ignored by the police, and now, 1995 Harry decides to get to the bottom of the case.
The true killer is not revealed until the very end, because it appears to be part of a political/police conspiracy. However, it was really Marjorie Phillips Lowe's best friend who did the deed. They were best friends and Marjorie was in love with a political operative who really loved her and wanted to become a family with her and Harry. When she asked her friend to accompany her to Vegas to get married, her friend strangled her.
