Retired FBI profiler Terry McCaleb (Eastwood), who has recently had a heart transplant, is hired by Graciela Rivers (De Jesus), to investigate the death of her sister, Gloria, who happens to have given McCaleb his heart. On the case, he soon deduces that the killer, who staged the murder to look like a random robbery, may actually be a serial killer Terry was trailing for years in the FBI. Can the elderly and feeble McCaleb, who had intended to spend his retirement living on his boat in the Los Angeles harbor, and who can't drive, and has to nap regularly, muster up the endurance to find the killer?

Finished this in two days. While I do find the crux of the story engaging and an enjoyable change of pace for Connelly the rather lazy romance in this novel let's it down quite a bit. One of Connelly's weaker works I've read so far that's for sure.
I really enjoyed this book. The main problem I had with was the love interest lacking depth. I know its not a romance novel, I just wanted the character to actually feel like a person. Instead it just felt she was there to move the plot along sometimes. Otherwise a fun book with decent twists,
My complaint about Connelly's detectives: their horrible taste in women. It's distracting. McCaleb or Bosch falls completely for a needy/pushy/damaged/mentally ill/selfish/fill-in-the-blank woman, and I, as the reader, am distracted from the actual mystery at hand by my thoughts of why? and don't let her do that to you!
