First, the writing is terrible. All tell and no show. As a short expose it informs us Harry works the Open Unsolved Unit of the LAPD when a new civilian hire, who is there to help sort through cases, brings an old one to Bosch with a fresh tip - the name of the killer that was supposedly left by an anonymous caller.  It goes on to tell us what Harry does with this case, with the one deviation from the 'tell' paradigm, being a conversation with the killer who is already in San Quentin for a murder with the same MO.  Then the format returns to telling us how Harry wrapped up the case 10 months later.  And we all know Connelly is a master story teller so the fact that he would throw together a piece of crap like this is just insulting.Second, as others have pointed out the "story" such as it is, only takes up 32% of the download.  My pun is intended here, but what this writer and publisher did was not to offer a story involving a switchblade so much as serve up a Hachette job on the reader's sensibilities.Minus five stars.
