CRIME NEVER SLEEPS.

Los Angeles can be a dangerous city - never more so than in the dead of night. Detective Renée Ballard, once one of the department's young hotshots, now works 'The Late Show', the notorious graveyard shift at the LAPD.

It's a thankless job keeping strange hours in a twilight world of tragedy and violence, handing over her investigations as the sun rises, never getting closure.

Some nights are worse than others. And tonight is the worst yet. Two cases: a brutal assault, and a multiple murder with no suspect.

Ballard knows it is always darkest before dawn. But what she doesn't know is how deep her dual investigation will take her into the dark heart of her city, her department and her past...

If you're already a fan you'll love THE LATE SHOW. If you haven't read a Connelly book yet: now is the perfect time to start.

Everybody loves Michael Connelly’s series novels. No one compares to Harry Bosch, or the Lincoln Lawyer himself, Micky Haller. Connelly takes a break from his bestselling characters to introduce us to a new one, a young driven LAPD detective, Renée Ballard. She works the night shift in Hollywood, a once up-and-coming detective; she’s got the night shift as punishment for her sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor. One night she catches two cases: the brutal beating of a prostitute left for dead and the killing of a young woman in a nightclub shooting. She works her regular shift by night and in the daylight tries to solve these two cases that trouble her so. Along with BLOOD WORK and VOID MOON, Connelly once again proves that he can bring the depth and excitement he delivers in his series novel to a standalone. But this is probably not a standalone – I am sure we will see more.
