AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Introducing Detective Stilwell: a cop relentlessly following his mission in the seemingly idyllic setting of Catalina Island. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Detective Stilwell has been "exiled" to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found weighed down at the bottom of the harbor--a Jane Doe identifiable at first only by a streak of purple dye in her hair. At the same time, a report of poaching on a protected reserve turns into a case fraught with violence and danger as Stilwell digs into the shady past of an island bigwig. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, Stilwell doggedly works both cases. Though hampered by an old beef with an ex-colleague determined to thwart him at every turn, he is convinced he is the only one who can bring justice to the woman known as "Nightshade." Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city. Propulsive and atmospheric, Nightshade launches a brand new character into the Connelly universe, and proves without question that Michael Connelly is "the undisputed master of the modern crime novel" (Real Book Spy).

In this instant New York Times bestseller, LAPD Detective Ren e Ballard tracks a serial rapist whose trail has gone cold and enlists a new volunteer to the Open-Unsolved Unit: patrol officer Maddie Bosch, Harry's daughter. Ren e 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 two decades ago. The arrested man is only twenty-four, so the genetic link must be familial: His father was the Pillowcase Rapist, responsible for a five-year reign of terror in the City of Angels. But when Ballard and her team move in on their suspect, they encounter a baffling web of secrets and legal hurdles. 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. She works the burglary alone, but her mission draws her into unexpected danger. 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. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city's library of lost souls--a case that may be the most iconic in the city's history. Complex, satisfying, and full of dexterous twists, The Waiting demonstrates once more that "you can't do better than Michael Connelly" (Forbes).
En anhållen person ger en träff i dna-databasen på en serievåldtäktsman och mördare som tjugo år tidigare höll invånarna i Änglarnas stad i skräck för att sedan försvinna spårlöst. Men eftersom den anhållne endast är 23 år gammal och inte själv kan ha utfört dåden måste det vara någon i hans familj som är den skyldige. Renée Ballard och hennes kollegor på Öppna/Olösta tror att mannens pappa ligger bakom dåden, men ju närmare de kommer den misstänkta, desto fler lögner och juridiska hinder möts de av. Samtidigt blir Ballards id-kort och polisbricka stulna – en stöld hon inte kan anmäla utan att ge sina fiender inom polisen den ammunition de behöver för att avsluta hennes karriär för gott. Hon tvingas därför utreda stölden på egen hand, men uppdraget leder in henne på ett spår som visar sig vara farligare än hon kunnat ana. Harry Boschs dotter Maddie vill komplettera sitt arbete som patrullerande nattpolis med att utreda kalla fall och Ballard låter henne hoppa in på avdelningen. Men snart inser hon att Maddie har andra motiv till varför hon vill få tillgång till arkivet med stadens förlorade själar.
"Författaren visar än en gång varför han är en av de bästa i sin genre." Betyg: 4/5 BTJFörsvarsadvokaten Mickey Haller är tillbaka och nu riktar han in sig på hopplösa fall, sådana som inte har någon större chans att vinna. Han går med på att företräda en kvinna som är dömd för att ha mördat sin make som var polis. Trots att hon fälldes för brottet fyra år tidigare fortsätter hon att hävda sin oskuld. Haller bestämmer sig för att anlita sin halvbror, den pensionerade polisen Harry Bosch, för att utreda fallet. Bosch vet att de flesta poliser är angelägna om att snabbt lösa fall där deras kollegor har blivit utsatta, men han upptäcker snart att det är något som inte stämmer här. Vägen till frihet visar sig bli både lång och snårig. Det finns många som inte vill att fallet öppnas på nytt och de är redo att göra vad som helst för att stoppa Mickey Haller och Harry Bosch från att avslöja sanningen.
Ballard og Bosch er tilbage! Renée Ballard er ved at have styr på LAPD’s enhed for åbne sager – med det store arkiv over fortabte sjæle. De frivillige i afdelingen er entusiastiske, selvom de ikke er lige professionelle. Da de får et hit på en DNA-forbindelse mellem en arresteret og en seriel voldtægtsforbryder og -morder, der huserede for tyve år siden, viser det sig, at den sigtede kun er fireogtyve år gammel. Mens Ballard kredser sig ind på en mistænkt, støder hun på et forundrende spind af hemmeligheder og juridiske fiksfakserier. I mellemtiden bliver hendes skilt, id og pistol stjålet, og hvis hun indrapporterer det, bliver det enden på hendes karriere. Opklaringen af tyveriet bringer den rutinerede efterforsker i uventet stor fare, og hun har ikke andet valg end at søge hjælp hos Bosch. Samtidig er Boschs datter Maddie, der er gadebetjent, blevet frivillig i Ballards afdeling, og Maddie har sine egne motiver. De mange uopklarede dødsfald i Los Angeles rækker langt ind i den surfende betjents tilværelse og blander sig med politik og stærke følelser i en nation, der virker, som om den er ved at sprænge indefra.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly: Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller enlists the help of his half-brother, Harry Bosch, to prove the innocence of a woman convicted of killing her husband. Inspiration for the #1 TV show on Netflix, The Lincoln Lawyer series. Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, he is inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to weed through the letters, knowing most claims will be false. Bosch pulls a needle from the haystack: a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff's deputy, but who still maintains her innocence. Bosch reviews the case and sees elements that don't add up, and a sheriff's department intent on bringing quick justice in the killing of one of its own. Now Haller has an uphill battle in court, a David fighting Goliaths to vindicate his client. The path for both lawyer and investigator is fraught with danger from those who don't want the case reopened and will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from finding the truth. Packed with intrigue and courtroom drama, Resurrection Walk shows once again that Michael Connelly is "the most consistently superior living crime fiction author" (South Florida Sun Sentinel).

Michael Connelly uues põnevikus töötab Los Angelese politseiuurija Renee Ballard taas öises vahetuses. Ta naaseb varajasel hommikutunnil Hollywoodi jaoskonda, kust leiab eest võõra mehe, kes sorib vanu toimikuid täis sahtlites. Sissetungijaks on pensionil uurija Harry Bosch, kes töötab aastate eest soiku jäänud juhtumi kallal, mis talle juba siis rahu ei andnud. Kuigi Ballard viskab Boschi jaoskonnast välja, otsustab ta hiljem juhtumi materjalid ise üle vaadata. Selgub, et Bosch uurib 15-aastase Daisy Claytoni surma. Daisy oli lapsprostituut, kes julmalt mõrvati ja kelle surnukeha hiljem prügikastist leiti. Ballard otsustab Boschiga siiski koostööd teha, et välja selgitada, mis Daisyga juhtus, ja tema mõrvar viimaks kohtu ette tuua." Pime õnnis öö" on tempokalt arenev põnevik, järg raamatule "Öine vahetus", mille on kirjutanud USA üks palavamalt armastatud krimikirjanik Michael Connelly. Teda peetakse põhjusega krimikirjanduse meistriks." Öise vahetuse" stoori on suurepärane, vaat et tänavu siinmail ilmunud krimkadest parim või igatahes üks parimaid." Jaan Martinson
Et mord han ikke klarer å legge bak seg. En forbrytelse bare hun kan løse. I «Mørk og hellig» natt forener Michael Connelly to av sine mest minneverdige karakterer: den legendariske og nå pensjonerte LAPD-etterforskeren Harry Bosch og den unge, kompromissløse Renée Ballard. Ballard returnerer til Hollywood Station i de lyse morgentimer etter endt nattskift. Der tar hun en fremmed mann på fersken i å rote rundt i gamle saksdokumenter. Bosch er på jakt etter spor i den uløste Daisy Clayton-saken. Etter å ha kastet ham ut, blir Ballard selv besatt av drapet på den unge jenta som rømte hjemmefra 15 år gammel, før hun ble brutalt myrdet og dumpet i en søppelkontainer. Ble Daisy det første offeret til en seriemorder som fremdeles driver rundt som en skygge i de mørke bakgatene i Los Angeles?
