Dark Sacred Night is the second book (2018) of the Renee Ballard series by Michael Connelly. Harry Bosch has retired as a homicide detective from LAPD, but he’s back working for the San Fernando Police Department on a part-time basis. The San Fernando Valley, in the northern part of LA, is in the midst of a significant gang war. I thought I had read this novel before, but it is not previously reviewed in this blog. It is Connelly at his best. The significant parts of this book have to do with Bosch and Ballard agreeing to be a team on old cases, and the final end to the Daisy and Elizabeth mystery – the resolution of the Daisy’s murder at the age of 15 (specifically a case Bosch has been pursuing for many years), and the sad end of Elizabeth’s long history of drug abuse and relapse. In the course of the main plot, Connelly and Ballard solve a couple other cases and learn to trust each other. It’s a very good story – don’t miss it.
