Reviews

Praise for Desert Star: "Thrilling... Both cases require deep dives into the past; both lead to great action scenes; and, as always, Connelly displays his encyclopedic knowledge of the latest forensics... Bosch, however, takes a low-tech approach and follows leads in the field with his trademark intensity, driven by his desire to restore order in a violent world... [Desert Star] ranks up there with Connelly's best."--Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Dark Hours: "One of this month's best thrillers... Ballard and Bosch are a great combination as they work in and around a police force that Ballard believes too often aims to 'protect and serve the image instead of the citizens.'"--Richard Lipez, Washington Post

"A thoroughly engrossing procedural... The Dark Hours offers plenty of shocking scenes and clever surprises."--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal

"Connelly is sharp as ever... his stories always manage to explore another piece of the city's soul."--Crimereads

"Extraordinary... [Connelly] is one of the best in the business at writing about investigations and creating intense suspense, but the relationship between Ballard and Bosch--a professional friendship that grows out of two brilliant minds dedicated to the same difficult but important work--is the cherry on top."--Collette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times

"Outstanding... Connelly is the most consistently superior living crime fiction author. The Dark Hours just reinforces that."--Oline H. Cogdill, South Florida Sun Sentinel

"Readers will be glad to know that Connelly is still bringing the same intensity and atmosphere to his iconic series."--Crimereads
