* CowboyCop: Bosch is always a CowboyCop, but maybe never more than in this book. He lies to the FBI, hides a witness from the FBI, ''assaults and handcuffs an FBI agent'', and skips many, many chain-of-command layers by catching the Chief of Police himself in a doughnut shop and making a direct appeal for help in a case.
Added DiffLines:
* NoNameGiven: Per tradition in Harry Bosch novels, the chief of the LAPD is not named, even in this book when Harry talks to him directly. (This tradition was finally broken in ''Literature/TheBlackBox'' when the chief gets a name, mainly because in that novel he's an antagonist.)
