AS NIGHT FALLS, A KILLER COMES TO LIGHT...
'No one writes a better modern thriller' EVENING STANDARD
RENEE BALLARD AND HARRY BOSCH JOIN FORCES IN THE NEW THRILLER FROM #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER MICHAEL CONNELLY.

On New Year's Eve at the end of one of the hardest years in history, hundreds of revellers shoot their guns into the air in time-honoured LA tradition. But as the rain of lead comes down, a man is shot dead in the middle of a crowded street party.

Detective Renee Ballard soon connects the bullet to an unsolved cold case last worked by legendary ex-LAPD detective Harry Bosch. As they investigate where the old and new cases connect, a new crime shatters the night shift.

The Midnight Men are a pair of violent predators who stalk the city during the dark hours, and will kill to keep their identities secret.

In a police department shaken to the core by pandemic and protests, both cases have the power to save Ballard's belief in the job - or take everything from her...
