C'est devenu une obsession : tous les six mois, Bosch ressort le dossier Marie Gesto, jeune fille dont la mystérieuse disparition n'a jamais été élucidée. En treize ans d'enquête, il n'a rien pu trouver : ni indice, ni suspect, pas même le corps de la jeune victime. Un jour enfin le coupable passe aux aveux, mais Bosch se méfie : pour lui, l'homme n'est rien d'autre qu'un imposteur talentueux doublé d'un bouc émissaire idéal. Une dernière fois, Bosch reprend l'enquête...
Mickey Bolitar's year can't get much worse. After witnessing his father's death and sending his mom to rehab, he's forced to live with his estranged uncle Myron and switch high schools.

For a while, it seems like Mickey's train-wreck of a life is finally improving - until Ashley vanishes without a trace. Unwilling to let another person walk out of his life, Mickey follows Ashley's trail into a seedy underworld that reveals that this seemingly sweet, shy girl isn't who she claimed to be. And neither was Mickey's father. Soon, Mickey learns about a conspiracy so shocking that it makes high school drama seem like a luxury - and leaves him questioning everything about the life he thought he knew.
