The Late Show

Michael Connelly · first published 2017 · ISBN 9780316225984

Renée Ballard works the night shift in the Hollywood division of the LAPD, handling calls that the day shift ignores: prostitution, drunks, crimes that feel low-priority. When a woman is murdered, Ballard pursues the case through the city's hidden underbelly, discovering that her victim matters to someone, even if the system barely notices her death. Ballard's night shift becomes a lens onto Los Angeles' forgotten people.
