But after the chief of police himself tells her she can write her own ticket within the department, Ballard takes back her badge, leaving \"the Late Show\" to rebuild and lead the cold case unit at the elite Robbery-Homicide Division. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him--the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free. Ballard makes Bosch an offer: come volunteer as an investigator in her new Open-Unsolved Unit, and he can pursue his \"white whale\" with the resources of the LAPD behind him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e First priority for Ballard is to clear the unsolved rape and murder of a sixteen-year-old girl. The decades-old case is essential to the councilman who supported re-forming the unit, and who could shutter it again--the victim was his sister. When Ballard gets a \"cold hit\" connecting the killing to a similar crime, proving that a serial predator has been at work in the city for years, the political pressure has never been higher. To keep momentum going, she has to pull Bosch off his own investigation, the case that is the consummation of his lifelong mission. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The two must put aside old resentments and new tensions to run to ground not one but two dangerous killers who have operated with brash impunity. In what may be his most gripping and profoundly moving book yet, Michael Connelly shows once again why he has been dubbed \"one of the greatest crime writers of all time\" (Ryan Steck, \u003ci\u003eCrimereads\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Connelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.32w x 1.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316485654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2022 pg. 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2022 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2022 pg. 87","brand":"Little Brown and Company","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40562792169587,"sku":"9.78032E+12","price":32.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_6d821027-ce67-4b2c-844d-3c6959006e65.jpg?v=1667917991","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/desert-star-9780316485654","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
