Nightshade
#1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly introduces a new cop relentlessly following his mission in the seemingly idyllic setting of Catalina Island.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Stilwell has been "exiled" to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found wrapped in plastic and weighed down at the bottom of the harbor. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, he starts doggedly working the case. Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city.

Nightshade is a gripping and well-paced read that makes for a perfect escape over a long weekend. Michael Connelly once again proves why he’s a master of crime fiction, blending tightly woven plotting with crisp, believable dialogue and strong character development. The story pulls you in right away and keeps the tension building without ever feeling rushed. What really stands out in this installment is the introduction of new characters, especially Stillwell, who brings a compelling edge to the story. He feels like a worthy successor—or perhaps even a challenger—to Bosch, which makes for an exciting dynamic moving forward. This book has everything Connelly fans love: realism, intelligence, and a gritty sense of justice. I would absolutely recommend Nightshade to both longtime followers of the series and newcomers alike. Let’s see if Stillwell can out Bosch Bosch.

A compelling tale of deceit and political intrigue on an island 22 miles off California coast - a haven for LAPD misfits. Connolly introduces a new featured character and he’s a winner!

Nightshade reminds me of the older Harry Bosch stories and Stilwell is Bosch-like. I read it in just a few days.
