Summary
A compelling thriller introducing a driven young detective trying to prove herself in the LAPD.
Renée Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none as each morning she turns her cases over to day shift detectives. A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor. But one night she catches two cases she doesn't want to part with: the brutal beating of a prostitute left for dead in a parking lot and the killing of a young woman in a nightclub shooting.
Ballard is determined not to give up at dawn. Against orders and her own partner's wishes, she works both cases by day while maintaining her shift by night. As the cases entwine, they pull her closer to her own demons and the reason she won't give up her job - no matter what the department throws at her.

His best ever!
I read the next in this new series first, loved it, but this is so very good!. there's no Bosch in it. the central Character called Rene Ballard gives a story with discrimination agains women in the police, she has all of the moral high ground of Bosch and more. highly recomended for twists and turns in a brilliantly crafted storyline.

Gripping!
If this was a paperback I would have said un-putdownable! I couldn’t stop listening. As usual Michael Connelly doesn’t disappoint.

Great story, shame about the narrator
I enjoyed the new character, Renee Ballard, and hope Michael Connelly will produce more books with this feisty heroine. Sadly I was distracted some/much of the book due to the monotonal voice of the narrator, Katherine Moennig. She didn’t differentiate between voices or narrative, her strategy for differences seeming to be speed of reading. Otherwise the story was really pacy and exciting. Next one, please, Mr Connelly, but with the one change!

Masterful Connelly
Excellent story, great writing and an interesting central character destined I think to be the female Bosch.

Connelly 's new detective is as dogged as Bosch
A new detective but the cleverly woven story is Connelly at the top of his game

Always enjoy Michael Connelly books.
I love the addition of the Lincoln Lawyer to the Bosch series and Renee Ballard is another welcome character. Hopefully there will be more in this series.
