The Late Show introduced the protagonist Renee Ballard. Connelly is an excellent writer and a master plot generator overall. Unfortunately, this is not one of his better books. Ballard is a good character but seems like a female Harry Bosch clone in many ways. I don’t quite know how this is in the Harry Bosch universe as I did not even see a single Bosch reference. 3.5 stars.
