There's chaos in Hollywood at the end of the New Year's Eve countdown. Working her graveyard shift, LAPD detective Ren e Ballard waits out the traditional rain of lead as hundreds of revelers shoot their guns into the air. Only minutes after midnight, Ballard is called to a scene where a hardworking auto shop owner has been fatally hit by a bullet in the middle of a crowded street party. Ballard quickly determines that the deadly bullet could not have fallen from the sky and that it is linked to another unsolved murder--a case at one time worked by Detective Harry Bosch. At the same time, Ballard hunts a fiendish pair of serial rapists, the Midnight Men, who have been terrorizing women and leaving no trace. Determined to solve both cases, Ballard feels like she is constantly running uphill in a police department indelibly changed by the pandemic and recent social unrest. It is a department so hampered by inertia and low morale that Ballard must go outside to the one detective she can count on: Harry Bosch. But as the two inexorable detectives work together to find out where old and new cases intersect, they must constantly look over their shoulders. The brutal predators they are tracking are ready to kill to keep their secrets hidden. Unfolding with unstoppable drive and nail-biting intrigue, The Dark Hours shows that "relentless on their own, Ballard's and Bosch's combined skills...could be combustible" (Los Angeles Times).

When an LAPD narcotics officer is found with a fatal bullet wound and a suicide note, Detective Harry Bosch follows a bloody trail of drug murders across the Mexico border. Working the case, LAPD detective Harry Bosch is reminded of the primal police rule he learned long ago: Don't look for the facts, but the glue that holds them together. Soon Harry's making some very dangerous connections, starting with a dead cop and leading to a bloody string of murders that wind from Hollywood Boulevard to the back alleys south of the border. Now this battle-scarred veteran will find himself in the center of a complex and deadly game--one in which he may be the next and likeliest victim.

The hero of The Poet and The Scarecrow is back in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly. Jack McEvoy, the journalist who never backs down, tracks a serial killer who has been operating completely under the radar--until now. Veteran reporter Jack McEvoy has taken down killers before, but when a woman he had a one-night stand with is murdered in a particularly brutal way, McEvoy realizes he might be facing a criminal mind unlike any he's ever encountered. Jack investigates--against the warnings of the police and his own editor--and makes a shocking discovery that connects the crime to other mysterious deaths across the country. Undetected by law enforcement, a vicious killer has been hunting women, using genetic data to select and stalk his targets. Uncovering the murkiest corners of the dark web, Jack races to find and protect the last source who can lead him to his quarry. But the killer has already chosen his next target, and he's ready to strike. Terrifying and unputdownable, Fair Warning shows once again why "Michael Connelly has earned his place in the pantheon of great crime fiction writers" (Chicago Sun-Times). A Kirkus Best Book of 2020

Michael Connelly er især berømt for sine serier om henholdsvis Bosch og advokaten Mickey Haller. Historien om Haller er filmatiseret i 2010 og i 2020 udkommer en serie bygget over karakteren. I 2020 udkommer også sidste sæson i HBO-serien Bosch. Journalisten Jack McEvoy er gammel i gårde, og han har før opsnuset historier om seriemordere. Da en kvinde, som Jack kortvarigt stod i forhold til, bliver myrdet på bestialsk vis, indser Jack, at der er tale om et særligt forbrydersind, der ikke ligner noget, han før er stødt. Jack trodser alle formaninger og giver sig til at efterforske sagen … og overraskelserne står i kø. Måske skulle han alligevel have lyttet til den sidste advarsel. Jan McEvoy optræder også i ‘De Parallelle Mord’ (1998) og ‘Fugleskræmslet (2011). Historien er ren fiktion, men den engelske titel refererer til en hjemmeside, www.fairwarning.org, som er et nyhedssite, hvor Michael Connelly sidder i bestyrelsen. Mens man venter på den danske udgave af bogen, kan man jo lytte til Connellys true crime-podcast: Murder Book.“Højt tempo, voldsomt og med spænding nok til et hjerteanfald, det er en af verdens bedste kriminalforfatter i topform.!
