This series just keeps delivering. This is another thriller with high stakes and shining a light on a pretty distributing world. We see Ballard investigating a couple of different mysteries, dealing with an apathetic bureaucracy and difficult times in politics for both the police and the world as a whole. This book did end on a bit of a cliffhanger and I’m looking forward to the resolution. My only knock is Bosch isn’t featured much in this story and I hope he’s got more of a presence in the next novel.

The way he makes the details of facts of the plot and the police procedural system into enjoyable entertainment is wonderful to experience. I’m now hooked on the Ballard series after having read all the Bosch books and not been a fan of Mickey Haller series.

Dear Mr. Connelly Don’t you dare quit writing. Ever. Mahalo for the fun Aloha and Mahalo

She is a great character that gives women the credit they deserve for the work they do! Partnering with Harry Bosch makes her look great and he is a legend already. Love these books.

Love Renee…and of course Bosch Like to see a series with her as the star, kinda like the Bosch series

Decent story in the Ballard Bosch world. Definitely could have done without the political undertones.

Very good read I thought.

Ballard does not take no for an answer! Love people like that!

Really good book and I was sorry it ended. I will miss the characters and the story line. That is when I know it was a well written book!

This was the first book I’ve read by Michael Connolly. I have heard about him through watching the TV show Bosch and that is one of my favorite shows so I decided to try his books. I started to book 3 days ago and I couldn’t put it down till I finished it.
