PRAISE FOR THE LATE SHOW:
"The Late Show introduces a terrific female character: Detective
Ren�e Ballard... The pacing of Ballard's debut story is
breathless... Ballard is complicated and driven enough to sustain
the series Connelly doubtless has in mind for her."--Janet Maslin,
New York Times
"Dark Sacred Night is one of the best and most affecting Bosch
novels since Mr. Connelly began the saga in 1992, underscoring the
growing and unsettling ambiguity surrounding its central
character."--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
"Det. Ren�e Ballard is a formidable character, an insightful and
tenacious investigator with an unusual background and a sturdy
personality to carry a series...Connelly has achieved success as
one of the top mystery writers by continuing to keep his
storytelling fresh. In The Late Show, he delivers an exciting
police procedural with a unique character."--Oline Cogdill, South
Florida Sun-Sentinel
"Few writers can capture the gritty streets of L.A.--and the inner
workings of the LAPD--like Connelly."--Entertainment Weekly
"Harry Bosch has had plenty of partners, but he might have met his
match...Both face complicated challenges to their personal ethics,
challenges born not out of greed or fear but of their burning
desire to make things right. Through it all, they challenge each
other. Ballard brings a fresh perspective, and Bosch brings all the
things so many readers love about him."--Colette Bancroft, Tampa
Bay Times
"It was only last year that Connelly introduced Ballard, a fierce
and fascinating new protagonist who instantly emerged as a reader
favorite. Bosch, meanwhile, is a grizzled veteran by now; Dark
Sacred Night marks the 21st novel to center on him. But fans always
finish eager to come back for more."--David Canfield, Entertainment
Weekly
"LAPD Det. Ren�e Ballard, first seen in 2017's The Late Show, makes
a welcome return in this outstanding, complex police
procedural...Bosch and Ballard, both outsiders with complicated
pasts, form a perfect partnership in this high spot of Edgar-winner
Connelly's long and distinguished career."--Publishers Weekly
(starred review)
"Michael Connelly has earned his place in the pantheon of great
crime fiction writers by creating characters people care about and
are eager to come back to. In Dark Sacred Night, he brings together
two of his best...Here's hoping we don't have to wait long for
another Ballard and Bosch novel."--Paul Saltzman, Chicago
Sun-Times
"Michael Connelly is superhuman...His hallmark has been his
precise, faultless plotting...Connelly has always been especially
good when it comes to truly creepy killers-he was once a crime
reporter-and his denouement here is thrilling."--Charles Finch, USA
Today
"Of the myriad things Connelly does superbly as a crime writer,
perhaps one of the least heralded is his ability to bring
characters together from different series...A guaranteed
chart-topper."--Bill Ott, Booklist (starred review)
"Spectacular...Dark Sacred Night is ingenious, frantically
suspenseful, and very, very, bleak."--Maureen Corrigan, Washington
Post
"Superb...Once again, Connelly delivers an exciting police
procedural, only this time with two unique characters."--Oline
Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"The most intriguing mystery in The Late Show is Ballard herself.
Connelly is too skillful to hand us her resume in one document
dump; instead, he fills out her portrait with a subtle hand over
the course of the novel, a little background here, a glimpse of her
temperament there, the revelation of her unusual living conditions
sketched in between."--Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"This one needs no introduction...Expect all the dark, brooding LA
neo-noir you've come to appreciate from Connelly's superlative
procedurals."--CrimeReads
