This is the latest Harry Bosch/Renee Ballard book by Connelly. Ballard is a detective with the LAPD who likes working at night, She's a bit of a loner but will ask for assistance when she thinks she needs it. She trusts some of her colleagues but not all, and is well justified in that. There are two plots in this book. One, an apparent simple New Year's Eve accident, that isn't. And a pair of serial team rapists who are brutal.

As expected with Connelly's books there are twists and turns as information is revealed. It's a very good book and well worth the time.
