✦ Synopsis

The Overlook (2007)

In his first case since he
left the LAPD's Open Unsolved Unit for the prestigious Homicide Special
squad, Harry Bosch is called out to investigate a murder that may have
chilling consequences for national
security.

A
doctor with access to a dangerous radioactive substance is found
murdered on the overlook above the Mulholland Dam. Retracing his steps,
Harry learns that a
large quantity of
radioactive cesium was stolen shortly before the doctor's death. With
the cesium in unknown hands, Harry fears the murder could be part of a
terrorist plot to poison a major American
city.

Soon,
Bosch is in a race against time, not only against the culprits, but also
against the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI (in the form of
Harry's
one-time lover Rachel
Walling), who are convinced that this case is too important for the
likes of the LAPD. It is Bosch's job to prove them all wrong.
