What a great book to start 2022! Another teaming of Renee Ballard and Harry Bosch combines a terrific procedural with a depiction of the state of policing in L.A. post George Floyd and during a pandemic. While on the late shift on New Year's Eve, Ballard has teamed up with another woman in case a pair of serial rapists strike. She catches a shooting case that has ties to an open case lad by Harry Bosch. She and Bosch team up off the books to share info. What makes Connelly's books so compelling is how the details keep adding up and end up in a puzzle box of a plot. Highly recommended!
