The Hollow

£22.00

When Harry Bosch was eleven years old, his mother was murdered and he became a ward of the state, housed in MacLaren Children’s Center, a notorious facility where abuse was rampant. Decades after its closure, a massive class action lawsuit has resulted in a multibillion-dollar settlement for former residents. But when Bosch’s half-brother, defence attorney Mickey Haller, brings him word that Harry is entitled to $400,000, Bosch says he doesn’t want the money. He wants justice. News of the settlement awakens his memories of a place he had hoped never to revisit, and a boy named Chops, a fellow inmate who wound up dead. Chops’s body was found in a hidden space under a staircase that the staff used to discipline their charges. The kids knew it only as ‘the hollow’. But Chops’s death was covered up and never solved. Now Bosch knows he must reopen the investigation and learn the truth, even if the killer is long dead.

Description

Some secrets belong to the city.
This one belongs to Harry Bosch.

Growing up in MacLaren's Children's Center – a notorious care facility – Bosch had a friend. Together, they survived the dangers of that awful place.

Until one night, when his friend was placed in the illegal confinement space they called 'The Hollow'. And in the morning, he was found dead.

Bosch always suspected a cover-up, but as the case brings back old ghosts, he realises it was the murder that made him who he became.

As Bosch digs into the files, he finds the trace of a predator who was forged in the fires of the hell he once called home.

Facing the history that haunts him, Bosch will become consumed by the case. But with a case this personal, there is a fine line between justice and revenge…
