Summary
The brand new Ballard & Bosch thriller from the worldwide #1 bestseller behind Amazon Prime's Bosch and Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer
Description
SOME CRIMES YOU CAN'T FORGET.
OTHERS YOU CAN'T FORGIVE.
Detective Renée Ballard is given the chance to revive the LAPD's cold case unit and find justice for the families of the forgotten. The only catch is she must first unravel an unsolved murder, or lose this opportunity of a lifetime...
Harry Bosch is top of the list of investigators Ballard wants to recruit. The ex-detective is a living legend - but for how long?
Because Bosch has his own agenda: a crime that has haunted him for years - the murder of a whole family, buried out in the desert - which he vowed to close.
With the killer still out there and evidence elusive, Bosch is on a collision course with a choice he hoped never to make...

Critic Reviews
Praise for Desert Star:
"Thrilling... Both cases require deep dives into the past; both lead to great action scenes; and, as always, Connelly displays his encyclopedic knowledge of the latest forensics... Bosch, however, takes a low-tech approach and follows leads in the field with his trademark intensity, driven by his desire to restore order in a violent world... [Desert Star] ranks up there with Connelly's best."--Publishers Weekly
Praise for The Dark Hours:
"One of this month's best thrillers... Ballard and Bosch are a great combination as they work in and around a police force that Ballard believes too often aims to 'protect and serve the image instead of the citizens.'"--Richard Lipez, Washington Post
"A thoroughly engrossing procedural... The Dark Hours offers plenty of shocking scenes and clever surprises."--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
"Connelly is sharp as ever... his stories always manage to explore another piece of the city's soul."--Crimereads
"Extraordinary... [Connelly] is one of the best in the business at writing about investigations and creating intense suspense, but the relationship between Ballard and Bosch--a professional friendship that grows out of two brilliant minds dedicated to the same difficult but important work--is the cherry on top."--Collette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"Outstanding... Connelly is the most consistently superior living crime fiction author. The Dark Hours just reinforces that."--Oline H. Cogdill, South Florida Sun Sentinel
"Readers will be glad to know that Connelly is still bringing the same intensity and atmosphere to his iconic series."--Crimereads
