Finished Th 12/26/19
This is a hardback that I ordered from Amazon and received on Mo 6/24/19. When I finished this novel, I immediately ordered the next book in the series.
TWO STORIES:
1) A pharmacist and his son are murdered in their neighborhood drug story. At first Harry believes that the son was involved in a gang and this was the reason for the killings, but later he learns that this is just the tip of a huge Russian mafia run 'pill operation'.
The gang gathers homeless addicts and takes them to crooked drug stores where they collect pills on phony prescriptions. The addicts are then flown to an abandoned encampment near the Salton Sea. They are never allowed to leave and are really slaves.
Harry goes undercover to bust the gang. He's perfect because he's an 'old guy'.
2) A convicted murderer that Harry put behind bars has a new lawyer and a new angle. He has learned that another murderer's DNA has been found on an article of clothing at his murder. However, the evidence locker has been compromised.
The two lawyers (husband and wife) and a police officer in the evidence locker conspired to free the real killer and then sue the city for millions.
If this stands, then all of Harry's closed cases are in question and he might even lose his job with the San Fernando Police Department.
Harry cracks the case and proves that the evidence box had been tampered with. The crooked police officer was using old seals that he was using. He was also raiding the locker and pawning expensive jewelry and items in cases that he thought would never be reopened.

I loved the book and all things 'Harry Bosch'. I've even changed my mind about the actor, Titus Welliver. Now he's 'Harry in my mind'.
