Can Harry Bosch find someone who might never have existed? Harry Bosch is working as a part-time detective in San Fernando,outside of Los Angeles,when he gets an invitation to meet with ageing aviation billionaire Whitney Vance.At eighteen,Vance had a relationship with a girl called Vibiana Duarte,but soon after becoming pregnant,she disappeared. Now,as he reaches the end of his life, Vance wants to know what happened to Vibiana,and whether there is an heir to his vast fortune. Bosch is the only person he trusts to undertake the assignment. Harry's aware that with the sums of money involved,this could be dangerous - not just for himself,but for the person he's hunting.But as he begins to uncover the secrets behind Vibiana's tragic story,and discovers uncanny links to his own past,he knows he cannot rest until he finds the truth.
