The black market for drugs is no longer just a matter of illegal trafficking from vessels that infiltrate large shipments of cocaine, opiates or whatever is necessary. Caches can now be moved more underground between drug labels. AND Michael connelly has decided to tackle the depths of that sinister parallel market by emulating the Don winslow with inspirations from the most international crime but keeping the hook of the everlasting Harry Bosch, always accompanied by his long shadow, from that past as a veteran Los Angeles policeman, a career in which he arrived from Vietnam to join the city police, he ended up being expelled in some twisted case that ruined his prestige, working as a detective in the meantime and returning to the body with renewed energy but still subjected to the judgment of doubts.

Despite everything, Harry remains open to any possibility in which risk concentrates all his forces, perhaps to forget his most personal plot. In "The Two Faces of Truth" he finds a new field of research that appears with the intense risks of its necessary infiltration to reach the origin of everything in the buoyant drug business.

Of course, the already risky endeavor becomes even more rare when the shadows of the past return in a new attempt to lead him into darkness forever. It is the price to pay for trying to put the bad guys in jail. Perhaps it is a simple consequence, a veiled threat to start investigating his new case ... The point is that new evidence is offering new malpractice in a previous Bosch case.

The nightmare comes alive again. The memory of those days of ignominy, expelled from the body, take up new vigor. Harry thinks he is more prepared this time. But once again his companions ignore possible help. The truth may be priced too high. And on this occasion Harry Bosch senses that it is not only a matter of seeking his way out of the body but also of his complete erasure from the scene.

Despite the fact that the two questions appear as parallel coincidences, only if Harry Bosch is able to link causes and effects, actions and consequences, will he be able to force the necessary turn so that the single truth ends up escaping the shadows that try to devour him. It may end up being devoured by its shadow, but it is possible to find a beam of light from which to drag those who seem capable of sinking it forever.
