Michael Connelly

Hollywood Heat. Michael Connelly interviewed by Josh Mankiewicz on Dateline NBC. This originally aired on Friday, August 10.

The first book in a new series introducing Det. Renée Ballard, a driven young detective trying to prove herself in the LAPD. The Late Show (2017) is now available in paperback in the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Ballard will also appear in the upcoming Dark Sacred Night (October 30) with Harry Bosch.

“Reading Connelly is like listening to a well-oiled machine purring softly, as if by magic and, once again, he makes the reading (and the writing) so easy, unshowy, intelligent and gripping. A crime author in full control of his craft!”
– Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time

“Connelly tells two compelling stories that individually would make a terrific read but together make an instant classic.”
