Decades after its closure, a massive class action lawsuit has resulted in a multibillion-dollar settlement for former residents.

He wants justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNews of the settlement awakens his memories of a place he had hoped never to revisit, and a boy named Chops, a fellow inmate who wound up dead. Chops's body was found in a hidden space under a staircase that the staff used to discipline their charges. The kids knew it only as \"the hollow.\" But Chops's death was covered up and never solved. Now Bosch knows he must reopen the investigation and learn the truth, even if the killer is long dead.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs Bosch digs into the files, he picks up the trail of a predator who not only survived, but went on to a life of vicious crime.
