What this book is about
Renée Ballard works the late show — the overnight shift at Hollywood Division — where she gets cases that matter to no one. When two cases collide, she refuses to hand them off and works them both through the night. Connelly's new detective is as compelling as Bosch, and the series launch is a tight, atmospheric procedural.
