A compelling 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.

However, I have to say, with some regret, that unlike Bosch and the other protagonists, Ballard is much harder to relate to. Many of her relationships feel transactional, and she seems to lack warmth or genuine empathy. Even her relationship with her dog comes across as artificial. The attempts to show her vulnerability, such as her grief over her father’s death, feel forced and inconsistent.
At times, it feels like the author is trying to create a “girl boss” figure, but the portrayal comes off as forced and somewhat outdated rather than authentic.
