** The Novel: After being rejected from the LAPD for antisocial behavior, Daniel Crimmins, [[AttentionWhore obsessed with being a "somebody"]] and proving his superiority, became the "[[SerialKiller Code Killer]]." Crimmins murdered numerous people in his rampage, sending taunting messages to the police about their inability to stop him. When Terry [=McCaleb=], Crimmins's appointed "nemesis," experiences a heart failure, Crimmins, refusing to let him die so simply, begins killing organ donors with [=McCaleb=]'s blood type, knowing this will get him a heart transplant faster. When Crimmins's plan to frame [=McCaleb=] for the crimes fails, Crimmins kidnaps Graciela, [=McCaleb=]'s Love Interest, and her [[WouldHurtAChild young nephew]], planning to starve them to death by burying them alive, just to torture [=McCaleb=]. Even when dying, Crimmins [[NeverMyFault refuses to take the blame for his crimes]] or reveal the hostages' location to [=McCaleb=]. While implied to have an InferioritySuperiorityComplex, Daniel Crimmins was ultimately a sadistic and homicidal lunatic who [[ItsAllAboutMe cared about his own "legacy" more than anything else]].

As with many villains in Harry Bosch stories, the bad guy here dies with the words "Fuck you" on his lips.lips.
** Also, Connelly enjoys protagonists with unusual homes and/or offices. Harry Bosch lives in a cantilever house in the Hollywood Hills, and we'll soon learn that Mickey Haller does business almost exclusively out of the back of his Lincoln. [=McCaleb=]'s houseboat serves as both here.


Added DiffLines:

* HilariousInHindsight: Despite all the intentional {{ShoutOut}}s to ''Film/TheGodfather'', Connelly couldn't have known when writing the scene where [=McCaleb=] and the L.A.P.D. cops watch Gloria Torres's murder video, that just a year after this book came out, the phrase "Bada bing!" would become forever associated with another [[Series/TheSopranos classic mobster story]].
