Meet Renee Ballard, a young detective on the fast track within the LAPD. Until she files a sexual harassment complaint against her supervisor. Now she works "The Late Show", the midnight shift, and just about every case she's called out on gets turned over to the investigators on the daytime shifts. But now, against protocol, she's working night and day on two cases of particular importance to her. And they are both potentially career and life-threatening. Whether you call them police procedurals, mysteries or thrillers, Michael Connelly continues to be at the top of his game with his new female protagonist. I look forward to seeing more of Renee and maybe even seeing her interact with other well-known Connelly persona.
