As punishment for lodging a complaint against her supervisor, Detective Renee Ballard now works the late shift at the Hollywood Division of the LAPD. Most of the time Renee and her partner do the initial investigation of a crime, then turn it over to the dayshift for follow up. But on a busy night, Renee starts two investigations that she wants to see through herself. The first crime is the beating of a prostitute who was dumped in a parking lot and left for dead. When she is at the hospital following up on Ramona's conditions, Renee is contacted to check on a shooting victim. Five people were shot in a bar. One woman, a waitress, was taken to the hospital where she died. Renee is asked to claim the waitress' effects and bring them back to the station. Renee investigates both crimes during the day while working her normal shift at night, even though the bosses want her nowhere near these investigations.
Renee Ballard reminds me of Harry Bosch. She works the case until there is no stone left unturned. I enjoyed this book and was surprised when the villain was uncovered near the end. I didn't see that coming. My rating: 5 Stars.
