Dark Sacred Night
Harry Bosch teams up with LAPD Detective Renée Ballard to face the unsolved murder of a runaway, and the fight to bring a killer to justice.
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 Night for 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" (Associated Press).

This was a pretty good mystery, in fact there were several between Bosch and Ballard. They certainly seem to have the same moral compass (bend but don’t break). I do think the final mystery and resolution could’ve used a little more breadcrumbs to follow but overall excellent writing.

It’s crazy that the 21st book in a series winds up my favorite. There’s soul and depth here that frankly is unusual for Connelly, along with his usual excellent plotting, pacing, action and authenticity. My issue with Bosch is always that the side characters and villains were always more interesting but he and Ballard turn out to be a great combo, both characters complementing and enhancing one another.

All of Connelly’s books are detailed but the extensive details created some confusion for me. Still well worth reading.
