(Renee Ballard #1)
448 pages / 9 hrs, 22 mins
"Renee Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none as each morning she turns her cases over to day shift detectives. A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as a punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor.
"But one night she catches two cases she doesn't want to part with: the brutal beating of a prostitute left for dead in a parking lot and the killing of a young woman in a nightclub shooting. Ballard is determined not to give up at dawn. Against orders and her own partner's wishes, she works both cases by day while maintaining her shift by night." --from the publisher
Connelly hooked me right away with this character who is driven to see justice done no matter the cost. She is compassionate, smart, athletic, outspoken, and lives life on her own terms.
