Dark Sacred Night: A Ballard and Bosch Novel
Autor Michael Connellyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 apr 2019
Detective Renée Ballard is working the night beat -- known in LAPD slang as "the late show" -- and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours 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
can't
let
him
go
through
department
records,
but
when
he
leaves,
she
looks
into
the
case
herself
and
feels
a
deep
tug
of
empathy
and
anger.
She
has
never
been
the
kind
of
cop
who
leaves
the
job
behind
at
the
end
of
her
shift
--
and
she
wants
in.
The
murder,
unsolved,
was
of
fifteen-year-old
Daisy
Clayton,
a
runaway
on
the
streets
of
Hollywood
who
was
brutally
killed,
her
body
left
in
a
dumpster
like
so
much
trash.
Now
Ballard
joins
forces
with
Bosch
to
find
out
what
happened
to
Daisy,
and
to
finally
bring
her
killer
to
justice.
Along
the
way,
the
two
detectives
forge
a
fragile
trust,
but
this
new
partnership
is
put
to
the
test
when
the
case
takes
an
unexpected
and
dangerous
turn.
Dark
Sacred
Nightfor
the
first
time
brings
together
these
two
powerhouse
detectives
in
a
riveting
story
that
unfolds
with
furious
momentum.
And
it
shows
once
more
why
"there's
no
doubt
Connelly
is
a
master
of
crime
fiction"

Recenzii
"Dark
Sacred
Nightis
one
of
the
best
and
most
affecting
Bosch
novels
since
Mr.
Connelly
began
the
saga
in
1992,
underscoring
the
growing
and
unsettling
ambiguity
surrounding
its
central
character."—Tom
Nolan,
Wall
Street
Journal
"Spectacular...Dark Sacred Nightis ingenious, frantically suspenseful, and very, very, bleak."—Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post
"Michael Connelly is superhuman...His hallmark has been his precise, faultless plotting...Connelly has always been especially good when it comes to truly creepy killers-he was once a crime reporter-and his denouement here is thrilling."—Charles Finch, USA Today
"LAPD Det. Renée Ballard, first seen in 2017'sThe Late Show, makes a welcome return in this outstanding, complex police procedural...Bosch and Ballard, both outsiders with complicated pasts, form a perfect partnership in this high spot of Edgar-winner Connelly's long and distinguished career."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Det. Renée Ballard is a formidable character, an insightful and tenacious investigator with an unusual background and a sturdy personality to carry a series...Connelly has achieved success as one of the top mystery writers by continuing to keep his storytelling fresh. InThe Late Show, he delivers an exciting police procedural with a unique character."—Oline Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"Michael Connelly has earned his place in the pantheon of great crime fiction writers by creating characters people care about and are eager to come back to. InDark Sacred Night, he brings together two of his best...Here's hoping we don't have to wait long for another Ballard and Bosch novel."—Paul Saltzman, Chicago Sun-Times
"This one needs no introduction...Expect all the dark, brooding LA neo-noir you've come to appreciate from Connelly's superlative procedurals."—CrimeReads
"Superb...Once again, Connelly delivers an exciting police procedural, only this time with two unique characters."—Oline Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"Harry Bosch has had plenty of partners, but he might have met his match...Both face complicated challenges to their personal ethics, challenges born not out of greed or fear but of their burning desire to make things right. Through it all, they challenge each other. Ballard brings a fresh perspective, and Bosch brings all the things so many readers love about him."—Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"Of the myriad things Connelly does superbly as a crime writer, perhaps one of the least heralded is his ability to bring characters together from different series...A guaranteed chart-topper."—Bill Ott, Booklist (starred review)
PRAISE FORTHE LATE SHOW:
"Few writers can capture the gritty streets of L.A.--and the inner workings of the LAPD--like Connelly."—Entertainment Weekly
"The most intriguing mystery inThe Late Showis Ballard herself. Connelly is too skillful to hand us her resume in one document dump; instead, he fills out her portrait with a subtle hand over the course of the novel, a little background here, a glimpse of her temperament there, the revelation of her unusual living conditions sketched in between."—Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times

"It
was
only
last
year
that
Connelly
introduced
Ballard,
a
fierce
and
fascinating
new
protagonist
who
instantly
emerged
as
a
reader
favorite.
Bosch,
meanwhile,
is
a
grizzled
veteran
by
now;Dark
Sacred
Nightmarks
the
21st
novel
to
center
on
him.
But
fans
always
finish
eager
to
come
back
for
more."

Daisy Clayton's killer was never caught. In over ten years, there has been no breakthrough in her murder case.
Detective Renée Ballard has faced everything the LAPD's notorious dusk-till-dawn graveyard shift has thrown at her. But, until tonight, she'd never met Harry Bosch - an ex-homicide detective consumed by this case.
Soon, she too will become obsessed by the murder of Daisy Clayton.
Because Ballard and Bosch both know: every murder tells a story. And Daisy's case file reads like the first chapter in an untold tragedy that is still being written - one that could end with Ballard herself, if she cannot bring the truth to light...
