Renée Ballard jobbar nattskiftet igen. Hon återvänder till stationen i Hollywood på småtimmarna och hittar en främling som går igenom skåpen med gamla mappar. Inkräktaren är den pensionerade inspektören Harry Bosch, som jobbar med ett olöst fall som har krupit in under huden på honom. Ballard sparkar ut honom, men kollar sedan upp fallet själv, vilket får en våg av känslor och ilska att välla fram. Femtonåriga Daisy Clayton rymde hemifrån och hittades sedan brutalt mördad och dumpad i en sopcontainer. Ballard bestämmer sig för att gå samman med Bosch för att ta fast Daisys mördare.

Väldigt skickligt skildrat om polisarbetet, utan att det blir tråkigt. Spänning infinner sig här och där, intressant är det hela tiden. Jag gillar Bosch, har läst alla delar i serien. Nu har Connelly skickligt vävt in en ny huvudperson, Ballard som sover i tält på stranden med sin älskade hund. Mycket bra!

"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship". If you have seen the movie Casablanca, then you know this classic line. And, it's such a perfect way to describe the paring of Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch.
DARK SACRED NIGHT is the second Ballard book and the 29th Bosch. And, I was thrilled to get a copy of the book. Bosch was mentioned in The Late Show, the first Ballard book, but I never thought that we would get a crossover so early. I thought perhaps a cameo or something in the two series, or just mentions. However, to my surprise, a dream come true!
Ballard first encounter with Bosch is hardly a friendly one. He's looking through files he has no right to go through and Ballard almost read him his rights, but then she gets curious. Well, after he's gone and she notices what he was looking for. She can't help herself, and soon she teams up with Bosch to work a cold case. And, as they work together, the more of a team they become.
DARK SACRED NIGHT is a great book. I'm a big fan of cold cases and I love the teaming of Ballard of Bosch. The older cop and the younger one that both can learn from each other, not to mention saving each other's lives. The ending gave hope that there will be more crossovers and I can't wait to find out what B&B will do next!
