Harry Bosch teams up with LAPD detective Renée Ballard to solve
the murder of a young girl in the new thriller from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Michael Connelly.
Detective Renée Ballard is working the night beat -- known in LAPD slang
as "the late show" -- and returns to Hollywood Station in the early
hours to find a stranger rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder
is retired detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten
under his skin.
Ballard can't let him go through department records, but when he leaves,
she looks into the case herself and feels a deep tug of empathy and
anger. She has never been the kind of cop who leaves the job behind at
the end of her shift -- and she wants in.
The murder, unsolved, was of fifteen-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway
on the streets of Hollywood who was brutally killed, her body left in a
dumpster like so much trash. Now Ballard joins forces with Bosch to find
out what happened to Daisy, and to finally bring her killer to justice.
Along the way, the two detectives forge a fragile trust, but this new
partnership is put to the test when the case takes an unexpected and
dangerous turn.
Dark Sacred Night for the first time brings together these two
powerhouse detectives in a riveting story that unfolds with furious
momentum. And it shows once more why "there's no doubt Connelly is a
master of crime fiction" (Associated Press).
