A pandemic thriller. I never thought I would be reading a Pandemic book.
On New Year's Eve celebrations Ballard is called in on a gun shooting and starts to suspect it as murder. Along with this case, Ballard is tangled with a team of rapists called "The Midnight Men". And during the investigation, retired detective Bosch is also pulled in and both work together towards justice.
Absolute brilliant thriller. Connelly has put together a fabulous story. A Nail biter :)

Happy Reading!!

Just what I needed. Great to see the developing relationship between Ballard and Bosch going from strength to strength. Recommended.

I was super excited to get this book from the library the week it was published. It was very good. The story was quick paced and I enjoyed the twist and turns. I also like how the story weaves Ballard and Bosch together. I definitely recommend this to fans of the series. 4.5/5
