There's chaos in Hollywood at the end of the New Year?s Eve
countdown. Working her graveyard shift, LAPD detective Ren?e
Ballard waits out the traditional rain of lead as hundreds of
revelers shoot their guns into the air. Only minutes after
midnight, Ballard is called to a scene where a hardworking auto
shop owner has been fatally hit by a bullet in the middle of a
crowded street party.
Ballard quickly concludes that the deadly bullet could not have
fallen from the sky and that it is linked to another unsolved
murder?a case at one time worked by Detective Harry Bosch. At the
same time, Ballard hunts a fiendish pair of serial rapists, the
Midnight Men, who have been terrorizing women and leaving no
trace.
