in 1993 marie gesto disappeared after walking out of a supermarket. harry bosch worked the case but couldn`t crack it, and the 22 yr old was never found. now, more than a decade later, with the gesto file still on his desk, bosch gets a call from the d.a. a man accused of two heinous murders is willing to come clean about several others, including the killikng of marie gesto. taking the confession of the man he has sought-and hated-for 13 yrs is bad enough. discovering that he missed a clue back in 1993 that could have stopped nine other murders may just be the straw that breaks harry bosch.
