Another great book in the Renee Ballard series. Renee Ballard is now in charge of the Open Unsolved unit, which revisits closed cases. The unit has just found a DNA lead on the Pillowcase Rapist. While this is happening, Renee's gun and badge is stolen and she tries to get them back without alerting the LAPD.
As always, I love how Michael Connelly's books capture detective work. There are always multiple balls in the air and as the title says a lot of waiting. We see the return of Harry Bosch and Maddie Bosch. Harry definitely takes a back seat so be prepared. There are some great new characters as well in the UOU.
Renee continues to kick ass and take names. She's sharp and assertive and does what she needs to for justice. I can't wait for the next installment.

Michael Connelly is the master of crime fiction and a Ballard and Bosch combo is one of my favours things.
We see Ballard and her band of merry volunteers in the cold case squad doing their thing with the added help of another sworn member - the other Bosch … Maddie, who is doing some volunteering around her hours in auto theft. Ballard is also in a spot of bother having had her badge and gun stolen when our surfing, for which she needs the help of Harry.
As always with a Connelly book there’s the different storylines that all converge in the last few chapters. And this book was absolutely worth it. We see a much more introspective side of Ballard, and learn more about her history.
I read this book in a day, and I’m not sorry.
Can absolutely recommend.
