The Dollmaker was the name of the serial killer who had stalked Los Angeles ruthlessly， leaving grisly calling cards on the faces of his female victims. Now with a single faultless shot， Detective Harry Bosch thinks he has ended the city s nightmare.But the dead man s widow is suing Harry and the LAPD for killing the wrong man-- an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker s macabre signature.So for the second time， Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive， before he strikes again. It s a blood-tracked quest that will take Harry from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go-- the darkness of his own heart.With The Concrete Blonde， Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has hit a whole new level in his career， creating a breathtaking thriller that thrusts you into a blistering courtroom battle-- and a desperate search for a sadistic killer.
