missingvolume | #69 The Late Show by Michael Connelly (Reply)

This is a new series from Michael Connelly set in the LAPD. New characters but the same type of cop, one who cares about the victim and sometimes does things that bend the rules in order to work for justice. Renee keeps most people at an arms distance in her life after being burned by her previous partner and banished to the night shift. Two cases that couldn’t be more different catch her in one night and by the end of the book both are solved. One is the savage beating of a prostitute and the other is a mass shooting in a club. With the shooting case she is just an extra set of hands for the evening while her old squad has the case. The other case she is allowed to work instead of handing it over to the day shift. The overall story is good and I want to see more with her. I just wonder if Harry and Renee will cross paths at some point down the line.
