A note for parents
The Concrete Blonde is a mature crime thriller centered on a serial killer investigation, featuring graphic descriptions of murder victims and violent crime scenes. This is adult detective fiction with sophisticated legal and moral complexity, not a young adult or children's book. The psychological darkness and procedural focus on serial homicide make it inappropriate for younger readers, though the violence is not gratuitously graphic by thriller standards.

They called him the Dollmaker-the serial killer who stalked Los Angeles and left a grisly calling card on the faces of his female victims. With a single faultless shot, Detective Harry Bosch thought he had ended the city's nightmare... But then the dead man's widow sues Harry and the LAPD for killing the wrong man-an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature... Now, for the second time, Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive, before he strikes again. It's a blood-tracked quest that will take Harry from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go-the darkness of his own heart.
