    Ballard and Bosch team up

    A year has passed since LAPD detective Renée Ballard quit the force in the face of misogyny, demoralization, and endless red tape. But after the chief of police himself tells her she can write her own ticket within the department, Ballard takes back her badge to rebuild and lead the cold case unit at the elite Robbery-Homicide Division.

    For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him—the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free. Ballard makes Bosch an offer: come volunteer as an investigator in her new Open-Unsolved Unit, and he can pursue his “white whale” with the resources of the LAPD behind him.

    First priority for Ballard is to clear the unsolved rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl…
