Publisher Description
Renée Ballard will need Bosch and his daughter to help bring down her enemies—this is Michael Connelly at his compelling best.
Renée Ballard and the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit find a DNA link to a serial killer known as the Pillowcase Rapist. But when Ballard and her team move in on their suspect, they encounter a baffling web of secrets and legal hurdles.
At the same time, Ballard's badge, gun and ID are stolen - a theft she can't report without giving her enemies in the department the ammunition they need to end her career. Forced to seek outside help, Ballard knocks on Harry Bosch's door.
Meanwhile, Ballard has taken on Patrol Officer Maddie Bosch, Harry's daughter, as a new volunteer. But Renée soon learns that Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city's library of lost souls.
Ballard is determined to maintain her focus on justice - but this cold case opens a Pandora's box ...

Customer Reviews
A good, entertaining read
Like most people, I enjoy Connelly. This was another entertaining read.
Excellent story
Story line has multiple threads that are kept integrated. Compelling read.
Top shelf page-turner
I normally don’t enjoy it when the children of well known central characters are brought in to continue the detecting heritage. But Harry Bosch’s daughter might just be an exception. Renee Ballard has fitted nicely into the Bosch continuation and this book was, as always, a winner from the Connelly stable.
