In his first case since he left the LAPD's Open Unsolved Unit for the prestigious Homicide Special squad, Harry Bosch is called out to investigate a murder that may have chilling consequences for national security. A doctor with access to a dangerous radioactive substance is found murdered in the trunk of his car. Retracing his steps, Harry learns that a large quantity of radioactive cesium was stolen shortly before the doctor's death. With the cesium in unknown hands, Harry fears the murder could be part of a terrorist plot to poison a major American city. Soon, Bosch is in a race against time, not only against the culprits, but also against the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI (in the form of Harry's one-time lover Rachel Walling), who are convinced that this case is too important for the likes of the LAPD. It is Bosch's job to prove all of them wrong.

The clearest and most complete introduction available to the visionary art of Bosch, replete with splendid reproductions. In his illuminating and always original text, Gary Schwartz, an art historian with an abiding interest in the cultural context of art and its reception, provides concise interpretations of every work, including commentary on many of the most extraordinary details for which Bosch is acclaimed. The question often asked about the remarkable artist who created the Gardens of Delights, The Haywain, the Temptation of St. Anthony and the Last Judgement is where he saw the stunning apparitions that fill his panels. As the author sees it, Bosch's strange images were not intended to be deciphered but, int he words of an admirer from his own century, "to confuse, worry and disturb" the viewer. They are meant to be pondered and discussed exactly because they are so weird. In this spirit, Gary Schwartz offers new interpretations of his own to spark discussion and stimulate the imagination of the reader. This singular book, published int he year of the 500th anniversary of Bosch's death, includes chapters on society, government and faith in mid-millennium Brabant. Everything is arranged for optimal ease of use, in clear sections with navigational aids. The brilliantly designed double-spreads makes sure that each opening tells a complete story. The clear language, accessible style, and beautiful reproductions makes this book essential for anyone interested in the life and art of Bosch. 356 color and 43 b&w images
