Michael Connelly, author of The Night Fire: A Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch Novel

Back when Harry Bosch was just a rookie homicide detective, he had an inspiring mentor who taught him to take the work personally and light the fire of relentlessness for every case. Now that mentor, John Jack Thompson, is dead, but after his funeral his widow gives Bosch a murder book that Thompson took with him when he left the LAPD 20 years before --- the unsolved killing of a troubled young man in an alley used for drug deals.
