Discover more thrilling Bosch mysteries in the original Freevee series Bosch: Legacy. A year has passed since LAPD detective Renée Ballard quit the force in the face of misogyny, demoralization, and endless red tape. But after the chief of police himself tells her she can write her own ticket within the department, Ballard takes back her badge, leaving "the Late Show" to rebuild and lead the cold case unit at the elite Robbery-Homicide Division. For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him--the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free. Ballard makes Bosch an offer: come volunteer as an investigator in her new Open-Unsolved Unit, and he can pursue his "white whale" with the resources of the LAPD behind him. First priority for Ballard is to clear the unsolved rape and murder of a sixteen-year-old girl. The decades-old case is essential to the councilman who supported re-forming the unit, and who could shutter it again--the victim was his sister. When Ballard gets a "cold hit" connecting the killing to a similar crime, proving that a serial predator has been at work in the city for years, the political pressure has never been higher. To keep momentum going, she has to pull Bosch off his own investigation, the case that is the consummation of his lifelong mission. The two must put aside old resentments and new tensions to run to ground not one but two dangerous killers who have operated with brash impunity. In what may be his most gripping and profoundly moving book yet, Michael Connelly shows once again why he has been dubbed "one of the greatest crime writers of all time" (Ryan Steck, Crimereads).

Both cases require deep dives into the past; both lead to great action scenes; and, as always, Connelly displays his encyclopedic knowledge of the latest forensics... Bosch, however, takes a low-tech approach and follows leads in the field with his trademark intensity, driven by his desire to restore order in a violent world... [Desert Star] ranks up there with Connellys best."--Publishers WeeklyPraise for The Dark Hours: "One of this months best thrillers... Ballard and Bosch are a great combination as they work in and around a police force that Ballard believes too often aims to protect and serve the image instead of the citizens."--Richard Lipez, Washington Post"A thoroughly engrossing procedural... The Dark Hours offers plenty of shocking scenes and clever surprises."--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal"Connelly is sharp as ever... his stories always manage to explore another piece of the citys soul."--Crimereads"Extraordinary... [Connelly] is one of the best in the business at writing about investigations and creating intense suspense, but the relationship between Ballard and Bosch--a professional friendship that grows out of two brilliant minds dedicated to the same difficult but important work--is the cherry on top."--Collette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times"Outstanding... Connelly is the most consistently superior living crime fiction author. The Dark Hours just reinforces that."--Oline H. Cogdill, South Florida Sun Sentinel"Readers will be glad to know that Connelly is still bringing the same intensity and atmosphere to his iconic series."--Crimereads Details ISBN153874046X Author Michael Connelly Publisher Grand Central Publishing Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781538740460 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-04-09 Imprint Grand Central Publishing Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2024-04-09 NZ Release Date 2024-04-09 US Release Date 2024-04-09 UK Release Date 2024-04-09 DEWEY 813.54 Audience General Pages 400 ISBN-10 153874046X Series Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch Novel We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
