About this listen

At the end of a long, dark night Detectives Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch cross paths for the very first time.

Detective Renée Ballard is working the graveyard shift again and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours only to find that an older man has snuck in and is rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder is none other than legendary LAPD detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten under his skin.

Ballard kicks him out, but eventually Bosch persuades her to help, and she relents. Bosch is investigating the death of 15-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway who was brutally murdered. He crossed paths with her devastated mother while working a previous case, and Daisy's story has seized hold of him.

Titus is a great actor and his voice now is just bosch for me. The female narrator ruined it for me and the switching made it distracting.

Please just use titus for these from now on. His voice is fantastic both on screen on amazon TV show and on audible.

Great book but let titus read them please

Two great characters united by their damage. A very compelling read and an entertaining twist on a relatively typical procedural. Good plotting and excellent performances - a must have for Bosch fans old and new.

Compelling amalgam of a pair of great characters:

As always, Michael Connolly never fails to please. This time Bosch is working with Renee Ballard a young officer with a lot of potential. They are working a cold case of the murder of a young girl, daughter of a woman who Bosch helped in the previous novel. I enjoyed the book but one minor point was I felt the ending could have been handled differently.

Another classic Bosch with the tie in to the younger detective Ballard
there can't be much life left in Bosch but this was well worth a listen.
I did find the story very familiar with parts of it making me check this was a new book and not one that I had bought again by accident. it was weird bit there were definitely echos of others in there

classic
