LAPD Detective Rene Ballard and Harry Bosch team up for justice in this riveting ride from #1 bestselling author Michael Connelly.

Amidst midnight chaos, LAPD Detective Rene Ballard shelters from the traditional New Year’s Eve rain of lead as crowds of revellers shoot their guns into the air.

Minutes later, she’s at the scene of a local mechanic’s death, but that fatal bullet didn’t fall from the sky. And Ballard is still on the hunt for the Midnight Men, fiendish serial rapists terrorising women and leaving no trace.

Up against deadly inertia and foundering morale in a ravaged police department, Ballard looks outside to the one detective she can count on: Harry Bosch. But even together they cannot relax their guard against predators who won’t hesitate to kill.
