A Dance with Death and Doubt
Four years ago, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch killed Norman Church, believing he'd ended the reign of terror of the "Dollmaker" serial killer who had murdered nine women. The evidence seemed conclusive-theatrical makeup, leather straps, and incriminating photographs found in Church's apartment. Now, Bosch sits in federal court, defending himself against a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit filed by Church's widow. Just as the trial begins wearing him down, a note arrives at the police department claiming to be from the real Dollmaker, directing officers to a body buried beneath a concrete floor. When excavated, the corpse displays all the killer's signature elements-including details never released to the public. The timing couldn't be worse. This new victim was killed long after Church's death, shattering Bosch's certainty about that fateful night in Echo Park. Did he kill an innocent man? Was Church working with an accomplice? Or has a copycat emerged, using the Dollmaker's methods to torment Bosch personally? As he navigates these questions while defending himself in court, Bosch must confront his own motivations and the possibility that his judgment that night was clouded by his own mother's murder when he was young.
