The Late Show

A new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly follows a motivated young investigator who is attempting to make her mark in the LAPD. Renee Ballard is a night shift worker in Hollywood; she starts a lot of investigations but never completes them since she hands them off to day shift detectives every morning. She was previously a rising investigator, but after accusing a superior of sexual harassment, she got this beat as punishment. But one evening, she witnesses two crimes that she doesn't want to talk about: the fatal shooting of a young lady at a nightclub and the horrific beating of a prostitute who was left for dead in a parking lot. Ballard is resolved to persevere till daybreak. She continues to work her shift at night and works both cases during the day, defying instructions from her colleague. She is drawn closer to her own problems as the cases intertwine, which is why she refuses to quit her work despite the department's worst accusations against her.
