The Late Show

by Michael Connelly
The Late Show
The Late Show

Nocturnal detective's relentless pursuit of justice.

If you're drawn to the underdog's grit and determination, "The Late Show" will keep you rooted for detective Renée Ballard. Ballard, consigned to the night shift as retribution, embodies the tenacity to not just start tough cases but see them through against the odds. This book captures the raw perseverance of an LAPD detective with a narrative that is as much about personal redemption as it is about solving heinous crimes. Connelly's skill in threading tension and human depth through the dark streets of Hollywood makes this a compelling read.

Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly introduces Renée Ballard, a driven young detective fighting to prove herself on the LAPD's toughest beat. Renée Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none as each morning she turns everything over to the day shift. A once-up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor. But one night she catches two assignments she doesn't want to part - the brutal beating of a prostitute left for dead in a parking lot and the killing of a young woman in a nightclub shooting. Ballard is determined not to give up at dawn. Against orders and her own partner's wishes, she works both cases by day while maintaining her shift by night. As the investigations entwine, they pull her closer to her own demons and the reason she won't give up her job no matter what the department throws at her.
