Summary

Teaser

"A few days" after speaking with Annette McKay, Bosch reads through his mother's case file at his house in the Hollywood Hills before telling Eleanor that he is going to meet a woman who knew his mother and claims to know who killed her. He promises to return in time to take Eleanor and his daughter to lunch before driving them to the airport for their return flight to Las Vegas.

Bosch leaves, and Eleanor examines his mother's murder book, finding the photograph of Harry and Marjorie from 1979.

Act One

At a nursing home, Bosch meets with McKay, who admits that she didn't know that Harry had grown up to become a detective until she saw his name in the newspaper in December of the previous year. Annette explains that on the night that Harry's mother was killed, Marjory had gone on a date with one of Annette's regulars who she only knew as Mitch; she admits that the man could be rough, but insists that she warned Marjory before sending her to Room 7 of the City Center Hotel. Annette claims that she fled the city after Marjory's death, making an anonymous call to the police from Union Station before leaving; Bosch asks whether she spoke with Detective John Caffery, but she insists that she doesn't remember. Bosch thanks McKay for finally telling him, and leaves.

At his house in the mountains, Nash wakes to find his space heater malfunctioning. He tries and fails to open a can of sausages and nearly shoots the can instead, but tries again instead and eats.

At the beach in Santa Monica, Eleanor and Maddie eat gelato while Bosch explains that his interview with McKay yielded information worth pursuing. A young girl then approaches Maddie to ask the teenager to push her on the swings, which Bosch allows; he then admits to Eleanor that he is still worried about the two of them, and Eleanor claims that she is unsure of the future of her career and her marriage. Maddie returns a moment later, and admits that she will miss her father.

That night, Bosch arrives at the City Center Hotel, which still keeps its registration records from the day it opened in 1953. The desk clerk recalls two murders from 1980, but claims that no one was killed at the Hotel in 1979; he shows Bosch to a storage closet and leaves him to examine the Hotel's old registers. The detective pages through the books before finding the name of Fox Mitchell; the desk clerk does not recognize the name, and Bosch borrows the book before examining Room 7.

Later that night, Bosch returns to his house in the Hollywood Hills, looking out over the city before retreating to his bedroom.
