About this listen
From New York Times best-selling author Michael Connelly, a new thriller introducing a driven young detective trying to prove herself in the LAPD.
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. Against orders and her own partner's wishes, she works both cases by day while maintaining her shift by night. As the cases entwine, they pull her closer to her own demons and the reason she won't give up her job, no matter what the department throws at her.

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 325
Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write - and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

That is the law of innocence.

Detective Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD, but his half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, needs his help. 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. With the secret help of his former LAPD partner Lucia Soto, he turns the investigation inside the police department. But as Bosch gets closer to discovering the truth, he makes himself a target.

The man most hated by the LAPD - a black lawyer who has made his name by bringing lawsuits alleging racism and brutality by police officers - has been found murdered on the eve of a high-profile trial. The list of suspects includes half the police force. And Harry Bosch is the detective chosen to head the investigation. The political dangers of the case are huge. If it's not investigated fairly, the public outcry could make the Rodney King riots look tame. But a full investigation will take Bosch into the ugliest corners of law enforcement.

Two women have gone missing, and LAPD detective Harry Bosch has a strong suspicion that an avid fisherman named Denninger is the culprit. Bosch needs something stronger than a suspicion to bring Denninger in, but all he has are a handful of photos - prior mug shots and pictures of Denninger posing with his prize fish. It's not much to go on, and Bosch is running out of time, which is why he calls in FBI agent Rachel Walling. What she sees in these photos could blow his case wide open.

Good story but absolutely the worst narrator ever
Good Michael Connelly story. I like Renee Ballard’s character, she’s pretty complex and I look forward to seeing how he develops her. Nice plot twist at the end.
But the narrator was terrible. It was a very flat delivery, which completely robbed the story of any excitement or emotion. Further, her enunciation and pronunciation were awful. You’d think an audiobook reader would be chosen based on their ability to read clearly and actually pronounce words correctly... but in this case you’d be wrong.
I’d recommend buying the book instead svdcreadjng it yourself, and choosing a different audiobook.

a new take on an old tale
it's tough to have a new tale to tell in cop stories nowadays. The late Show managed to give me a fresh perspective on a tried and true cop drama by having a modern setting. There's none of the usual "why didn't he just google that" or "no one caught a picture of the guy on a phone camera?" but the story remains interesting and engaging to listen to. By far the most interesting part of the story is Renee, the detective through whom we experience the narrative. A female experience in the standard cop story leads to a fresh take that I personally found shockingly unfamiliar. This leads to moments that may be challenging to listen through but those moments, to me, were this book really has something new to deliver.

Boring Narrator
This was disappointingly cookie cutter book with a narrator who sounded like she was reading a shopping list. It was really hard for me to get to the end of this book but I made it. Just a sigh that it was over.

Worst narrator ever!
A decent procedural with the usual Connolly twists but really….where did they get this narrator? One reviewer on here really nailed it when they said she reads the text like a shopping list! Absolutely dreadfully flat, boring intonation with no hint of the drama or any interesting inflections in her voice. I don’t want to be mean, but it boggles my mind that this lady nabbed such a prestigious job in such a competitive field. All I can say is it’s a tribute to Connolly’s story telling that I stayed with it till the end.

Excellence across the board
I love the world Michael Connelly has created, Narrator was great, sets the pace...knows when to "voice act" and when pull back and just Narrate the story.
Story just hooks you in, and you are invested in everything in this world, not just the main character. One of the best Listens i had this year

Love Michael Connelly and now Renee Ballard!!
I’m a longtime fan of Michael Connelly and all his characters: Bosch, Haller, and now Ballard!! I have read and re-read all of them. Can’t begin to pick favourites - that’s like choosing a fave child. Each one is so well developed and different, yet all still carry the same “Connelly traits” that make them so enjoyable, never predictable.
The Late Show is the character Renee Ballard’s debut, and it doesn’t disappoint. Ballard is tough, smart, fiercely loyal to her beliefs and her family. She’s dogged, independent, and still knows when to play by the rules in order to get the job done.
I CAN NOT WAIT!!!! For Connelly’s next instalment, when Ballard and Bosch team up. Knowing these two characters as I do, I know it will be EPIC!!
