“...a richly emotional entry in this superb series... “Desert Star” — named for a tiny, resilient flower — is a thrilling mystery, and a resonant novel that marks turning points for Bosch and Ballard.” – Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times “Desert Star will further cement Connelly’s reputation as the master of modern crime fiction, and few will ever equal his achievement.” – Matt Nixon, Daily Express (UK) “Politics, corruption, violent deaths and cutting edge forensics make this another masterpiece that feels like it’s a true crime documentary laced with hard-boiled suspense.” – Alex Gordon, Peterborough Telegraph (UK) #ballardandbosch #desertstar #harrybosch #reneeballard
