The fingerprints say the murderer is the man who's just been executed ...

At 11.05 one December evening in Richmond, Virginia, convicted murderer Ronnie Joe Waddell is pronounced dead in the electric chair. At the morgue Dr Kay Scarpetta waits for Waddell's body. Preparing to perform a post-mortem before the subject is dead is a strange feeling, but Scarpetta has been here before. And Waddell's death is not the only newsworthy event on this freezing night: the grotesquely wounded body of a young boy is found propped against a rubbish skip. To Scarpetta the two cases seem unrelated, until she recalls that the body of Waddell's victim had been arranged in a strikingly similar position ...

Near Mulholland Drive, Dr. Stanley Kent is found shot twice in the back of the head. It's the case LAPD detective Harry Bosch has been waiting for, his first since being recruited to the Homicide Special Squad. When he discovers that Kent had access to dangerous radioactive substances, what begins as a routine investigation becomes something darker, more deadly, and frighteningly urgent. Bosch is soon in conflict with not only his superiors but the FBI, which thinks the case is too important for just a cop. Complicating his job even more is the presence of Agent Rachel Walling, his onetime lover. Now guarding one slim advantage, Bosch relentlessly follows his own instincts, hoping they are still sharp enough to find the truth - and a killer who can annihilate an entire city.

Hidup di negara orang memang payah. Apatah lagi di Negara Jepun yang rumah sewanya hanya sekangkang kera. Benar kata orang, biar hujan emas di negara orang, hujan batu di negara sendiri. Negara sendiri lebih indah. Tetapi kerana dendam, payah dan gundah, suka atau tidak, Jasmine gagah mengharungi sendiri. Bertahun berlalu, marah pada emak tidak pernah surut. Memang tidak ada haramnya emak berkahwin lain, tidak ada hinanya. Ayah pun sudah meninggal dunia. Tetapi apa perlunya emak berkahwin dengan lelaki bujang? Namun Jasmine tidak tahu, ada rahsia sebenarnya yang emak tidak mahu cerita….
