Bosch returns in "The Overlook"

Detective Harry Bosch has moved to the "Homicide Special" unit of the Los Angeles Police Department. Gone are his days, at least for now, of working old cases.

Now part of the city's Homicide Special squad, Bosch is teamed with a new partner, the decades younger Ignacio Farras, who is continually flummoxed by Harry's refusal to call him "Iggy". But Harry considers their relationship on this special squad too formal to tag his partner with a diminutive, giving some insight as to the nature of the senior partner and the seriousness with which he views his job.
