The Late Show by Michael Connelly, 405 pages.Crime writer Connelly introduces a new character in this his thirtieth novel. Renee Ballard is working the late show, midnight to eight, as a detective in the Hollywood station. She almost never gets to see a case through to the end, and her partner has no interest in doing police-work. Ballard had been a rising star in Robbery and Homicide before a dispute with her superior officer, couple with a betrayal by her partner led to her exile.

Tightly written and a lot of fun to read. Fans of Connelly or fans of crime fiction will definitely enjoy this one.
