Dark Sacred Night (2018)
LAPD Detective Renée Ballard teams up with Harry Bosch in the new thriller from author Michael Connelly.
Renée Ballard is working the night beat again, and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours only to find a stranger rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder is retired detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten under his skin. Ballard kicks him out, but then checks into the case herself and it brings a deep tug of empathy and anger. Bosch is investigating the death of fifteen-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway on the streets of Hollywood who was brutally murdered and her body left in a dumpster like so much trash. Now, Ballard joins forces with Bosch to find out what happened to Daisy and finally bring her killer to justice.
The audiobook is read by Christine Lakin and Titus Welliver. The Mysterious Bookshop is offering a signed limited edition.
DARK SACRED NIGHT was selected for Britain’s biggest book club, the Richard & Judy Book Club.
