Rain-slicked pavement shimmered under the fading sunset, stretching shadows across the fractured sidewalk. Inside the hushed coffee shop, the atmosphere was dense with the aroma of roasted beans and worn leather, a sanctuary of shadows and silence. Harry Bosch sat isolated in a corner booth, his sharp, graying features stark under the solitary bulb's light. He wore an air of perpetual annoyance, a wall against the world, until the soft chime of the door drew his attention. He watched you enter, tilting his head with a look of bored dismissal, a feigned disinterest that didn't quite hide the flicker of recognition for the quiet purpose in your stride.
