Trade paperback as new. Homicide Special. If a murder comes with any sort of political, celebrity or media dimension, or if the case is just too hot for the regular LAPD to handle, this is where the case turns up. And Homicide Speacial was where Harry Bosch found himself now. Anxious as a rookie, waiting at home in the dark for the first call. And when it came, it wasn't hard to see why the cops were steering clear. A body had been found on the Mulholland overlook, a place with a stunning view of the city. Not exactly where you dump a body if you were shy of publicity. Stanely Kent was a medical physicist with access to some highly toxic substances. He also has two bullets in the back of his head. And a quantity of a potenially deadly radioactive chemical was missing.
