It’s New Year’s Eve in Hollywood, and LAPD Detective Renée Ballard is waiting out the celebratory gunshots from hundreds of revelers. Not long after the new year blooms, Ballard is called to a scene where someone has been fatally hit by a bullet in the middle of a crowded street party, presumed to be from one of those celebratory bullets.
As Ballard investigates, she concludes that the deadly bullet could not have fallen from the sky. As a matter of fact, it's linked to another unsolved murder—a case that was at one time worked by Detective Harry Bosch. As Ballard bucks the rules to keep this case, she also must find a pair of serial rapists, the Midnight Men, who have been terrorizing women and leaving no trace.
Ballard is determined to solve both cases but feels like she is constantly running uphill in a police department indelibly changed by the pandemic and social unrest. In a department hampered by inertia and low morale, Ballard must break protocol and go outside to the one detective she can count on- Harry Bosch. The two detectives work together to find out how the cases intersect, but the predators they are tracking won’t give up so easily.
Michael Connelly always knows how to tell a good thriller, and listening to Titus Welliver and Christine Lakin bring THE DARK HOURS to life is a delight. It’s not easy having two separate narrators, but Lakin and Welliver allow the listener to follow Bosch and Ballard with ease and enjoyment. Well worth the listen.
Has a killer lain dormant for years only to strike again on New Year’s Eve? LAPD Detective Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch team up to find justice for an innocent victim in the new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly
There's chaos in Hollywood on New Year's Eve. Working her graveyard shift, LAPD Detective Renée Ballard seeks shelter at the end of the countdown to wait out the traditional rain of lead as hundreds of revelers shoot their guns into the air. As reports start to roll in of shattered windshields and other damage, Ballard is called to a scene where a hardworking auto shop owner has been fatally hit by a bullet in the middle of a crowded street party.
It doesn't take long for Ballard to determine that the deadly bullet could not have fallen from the sky. Ballard’s investigation leads her to look into another unsolved murder--a case at one time worked by Detective Harry Bosch.
Ballard and Bosch team up once again to find out where the old and new cases intersect. All the while they must look over their shoulders. The killer who has stayed undetected for so long knows they are coming after him.
