Yet when the relative is revealed, it is the last person who should be accused unless the evidence is watertight.
With the help of the latest volunteer to the cold case unit – patrol officer Maddie Bosch, Harry’s daughter – Ballard finally has another badge on the team. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city’s library of souls.
Be prepared for a baffling web of secrets and legal hurdles set inside Connelly’s fast paced style of crime fiction.
