About this listen
LAPD Detective Renée Ballard teams up with Harry Bosch in the new work of fiction from number-one New York Times best-selling author Michael Connelly.
Renée Ballard is working the night beat again and returns to Hollywood Station in the early hours only to find a stranger rifling through old file cabinets. The intruder is retired detective Harry Bosch, working a cold case that has gotten under his skin. Ballard kicks him out but then checks into the case herself, and it brings a deep tug of empathy and anger.
Bosch is investigating the death of 15-year-old Daisy Clayton, a runaway on the streets of Hollywood who was brutally murdered and her body left in a dumpster like so much trash. Now, Ballard joins forces with Bosch to find out what happened to Daisy and finally bring her killer to justice.

For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal...because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam. From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 197
Renée 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 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.

On the night he celebrates a big win, defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a former client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Haller is immediately charged with murder but can’t post the exorbitant $5 million bail. Mickey elects to represent himself and is forced to mount his defense from his jail cell in downtown Los Angeles. Even if he can obtain a not-guilty verdict, Mickey understands that it won’t be enough. In order to be truly exonerated, he must find out who really committed the murder and why. That is the law of innocence.

The murder rap against his client seems ironclad, but Mickey is sure it's a setup. Though it goes against all his instincts, Bosch takes the case.

What the critics say
"It was only last year that Connelly introduced Ballard, a fierce and fascinating new protagonist who instantly emerged as a reader favorite. Bosch, meanwhile, is a grizzled veteran by now; Dark Sacred Night marks the 21st novel to center on him. But fans always finish eager to come back for more." (David Canfield, Entertainment Weekly)

Great book, not a fan of the split narration
Another great book in the Bosch series. I get what they were trying to do with the split narration, but I found it was quite distracting and took away from the overall experience.

Loved this one!
I love it when Connelly has his characters together in one book. It always takes me a few chapters to get used to a new narrator...I really liked having both male and female narrators for this one.

Dynamic new partnership
Wow! Couldn’t stop listening to this story. There is the usual subtle character development, deft handling of emotional connections between characters, Always an interesting plot. The friendship between Harry and Renee grows s,ow,y, and certainly not without its doubts, and differences in approach to police work. Each recognizes a kindred spirit, wanting justice, going that extra bit to solve a case. Renee balances Harry’s more relaxed view of procedure with a more disciplined approach to the legal system. However she, like, Bosch bends the rules too, the secret of their ability to solve almost forgotten old cases. Great stuff, and avidly looking forward to future adventures of Bosch and Ballard. Thanks for wonderful entertainment t, Mr. Connelly!

Entertaining, but not as good as most Connelly books
I’m a diehard Connelly fan, and this wasn’t one of his best (although still worth listening to). Ballard is essentially a female Harry Bosch.

Story line is amazing.
After 20 books of the Bosch series you can never expect a good narrator they change every book.
Sometimes it’s very well read they try.
Then the next book is read by someone who has smoked all their lives and tries to become Bosch. It’s really embarrassing to recommend the book because of the voice is so bad.
Out of over a hundred books I have listen too Dark Scared Night is one of Mr Connelly’s first books that I had to stop listening too the female reader is so bad. Story line is amazing, but listening to Bosch’s voice as a woman. Words can’t explain the dissatisfaction, disappointment . I deserve a refund
