Young LAPD detective Rene Ballard has been relegated to the 'Late Show' after filing a sexual harassment complaint against her supervisor. Working in a twilight world of tragedy and violence, Ballard never gets closure, each morning forced to turn her cases over to the day shift detectives.
But one night she's called out to a brutal assault and then to a multiple murder, and she's determined not to relinquish these cases at dawn.
Working by day while maintaining her shift by night-against orders and her own partner's wishes-Ballard finds herself drawn deep into the dark heart of her city, her department and her past . . .
'Connelly has created wonderful characters with Bosch and Haller, and Ballard will easily be as beloved. Connelly is a master of crime fiction.' - Associated Press
