THE WAITING

IN COLD CASES,
IT'S NOT THE HOPE THAT KILLS YOU.
IT'S THE WAITING.

LAPD Detective Renée Ballard gets a DNA hit in a case that has gone unsolved for twenty years. A recently arrested man is genetically related to a serial rapist who terrorised the city of angels.

But when the relative is revealed, it is the last person you want to accuse unless the evidence is watertight...

With the help of the newest volunteer to the cold case unit - patrol officer Maddie Bosch, Harry's daughter - Ballard finally has another badge on the team. But Maddie has an ulterior motive for getting access to the city's library of souls.

Because some crimes have been waiting to be solved longer than others...

An electrifying and authoritative page-turner from one of the greatest crime writers of all-time - the author behind Amazon Prime's Bosch and Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer.

Michael Connelly nación en Filadelfia y estudió periodismo. La afición compulsiva por la novela negra y la admiracion por los autores que cultivaron este género en Los Ángeles lo llevaron a trasladarse a esa ciudad. Los diez años que dedicó al periodismo de sucesos en el Los Angeles Times le sirvieron para aprender los mecanismos del trabajo policial. La invención de Harry Bosch dio origen a la serie formada por El eco negro (premio Edgar de 1993), Hielo negro y La rubia de hormigón. Para escribir la cuarta novela de Bosch, El último coyote (que será publicada en esta colección), Connelly abandonó el periodismo y se dedicó a la literatura a tiempo completo. Connelly es autor, además, de El poeta, Pasaje al paraíso, El vuelo del ángel, Luna funesta, Deuda de sangre, Más oscuro que la noche, Llamada perdida y Ciudad de huesos, todas ellas en Ediciones B.

Las novelas de Michael Connelly han recibido los premios Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Nero Wolfe (Estados Unidos); Grand Prix, .38 Caliber (Francia) y Maltese Falcon (Japón).
