 THE BESTSELLING SERIES THAT INSPIRED AMAZON PRIME'S BALLARD AND BOSCH

'Michael Connelly is a powerhouse, an unstoppable force in crime fiction. The Waiting is proof he is at the top of his game."

MICK HERRON, #1 bestselling author of SLOW HORSES

****

IN COLD CASES,
IT'S NOT THE HOPE THAT KILLS YOU.
IT'S THE WAITING.

LAPD Detective Renée Ballard gets a DNA hit in a case that has gone unsolved for twenty years. A recently arrested man is genetically related to a serial rapist who terrorised the city of angels.

But when the relative is revealed, it is the last person you want to accuse unless the evidence is watertight...

With the help of the newest volunteer to the cold case unit - patrol officer Maddie Bosch, Harry's daughter - Ballard finally has another badge on the team. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city's library of souls.

Because some crimes have been waiting to be solved longer than others...

An electrifying and authoritative page-turner from one of the greatest crime writers of all-time - the author behind Amazon Prime's Bosch and Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer.

Connolly nails it yet again. Ballard is a fine character, let’s hope she makes it to our TV screens soon. Thank you.

Great story. Thanks for keeping Harry Bosch around.

The only problem I had with this book is that it’s only 11 hours long. Wish it was 30 hours. How can 11 hours pass so quickly? Ballard and Bosch are simply the best. This narrator is the best on audible. Can’t ’Wait’ for the next. J

Michael Connelly still amazes me. Every story is brilliant, and written so brilliantly. This one is no exception. The reading is superb. Totally believable. Audiobooks don’t always do a book justice, but this is spot on!
I give it 6 out of 5 stars.
Looking forward to the next one.

Fantastic!
