Michael Connelly

“Michael Connelly always brings heart and wit to his best-selling police procedurals, and this first outing for Stilwell is no exception, introducing a smart, determined, and highly moral protagonist with a case designed to push all his buttons. As Stilwell methodically works his way through the case, Connelly not only gives us the thrilling step-by-step of investigative work but also mines the tensions of a complicated job—and the struggle to prove oneself in a hostile environment.” — Apple Books, Best Books of May Staff Pick & Must Listen Audiobook Staff Pick

It’s been an amazing run. Seven seasons of Bosch and now 3 seasons of Bosch: Legacy. All streaming on Prime Video. Many thanks to all of you who have watched and supported the show from the very beginning. But fear not, you have not seen the last of Harry Bosch. Harry will appear in episodes of the new Ballard TV series coming out this summer. 

In cold cases, it’s not the hope that kills you. It’s the waiting.

LAPD Detective Renée Ballard tracks a terrifying serial rapist whose trail has gone cold, with the help of the newest volunteer to the Open-Unsolved Unit: Patrol Officer Maddie Bosch, Harry’s daughter.

Now out in paperback in the UK, the USA, and Canada.

Renée Ballard and the LAPD’s Open-Unsolved Unit get a hot shot DNA connection between a recently arrested man and a serial rapist and murderer who went quiet twenty years ago. Meanwhile, Ballard’s badge, gun, and ID are stolen—a theft she can’t report without giving her enemies in the department ammunition to end her career as a detective. With no choice but to go outside the department for help, she knocks on the door of Harry Bosch. At the same time, Ballard takes on a new volunteer to the cold case unit: Bosch’s daughter Maddie, now a patrol officer.
