After having read most of the Harry Bosch novels, I decided to read one of the two books that are not part of a Michael Connelly series: VOID MOON. This book is so different from the author's usual type that it took a while to adjust.

Cassie Black is on probation for a crime she committed 6 years ago in Las Vegas. She feels the "outlaw juice" rise up in her veins and she decides to make one last heist in order to escape her dull life as a used car salesman of Porsches. With meticulous skill and care, she perpetrates the perfect crime until she finds out the money she stole is mob-money. With nowhere to hide, Cassie starts to run. However, the man chasing her seems to have a psychotic need to kill everyone related to the crime.

I downgraded this book because of the slow movement of the first half of the book due to the almost tedious explanation of all the tools and electronic gear Cassie gathered and used in the commission of her crime. On the other hand, I enjoyed seeing a probationer turn into a quasi-heroine. The last half of the book was absolutely fascinating and moved very, very well.
