Description
Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:LAPD detective Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch team up to hunt the brutal killer who is Bosch??s ??white whale???a man responsible for the murder of an entire family. 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, leaving ??the Late Show? 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 sixteen-year-old girl. The decades-old case is essential to the councilman who supported re-forming the unit, and who could shutter it again??the victim was his sister. When Ballard gets a ??cold hit? connecting the killing to a similar crime, proving that a serial predator has been at work in the city for years, the political pressure has never been higher. To keep momentum going, she has to pull Bosch off his own investigation, the case that is the consummation of his lifelong mission. The two must put aside old resentments and new tensions to run to ground not one but two dangerous killers who have operated with brash impunity. In what may be his most gripping and profoundly moving book yet, Michael Connelly shows once again why he has been dubbed ??one of the greatest crime writers of a… (more)

Michael Connelly is hands down one of my favorite authors. I've read all of his books and can't recommend them enough.
His latest is Desert Star. It's the fifth book that pairs up Harry Bosch and Renée Ballard. (And is the 36th to feature Harry!) Connelly has kept things moving forward in his
I was so eager to see where Harry's life was now. Long time readers, there's an opening chapter that will have you already cringing. Enough said.
There are literally thousands of unsolved cases to tackle. The one Harry wants cleared is the murder of an entire family of four. The one they need to solve to keep the unit open is the death of a politico's sister many years ago. The methodology of working on decades old cases is fascinating. New techniques can be used on old evidence. DNA is prominent in investigations. But it still needs someone who can put the pieces together, ask the right questions and follow the right clues. And that's Harry Bosch. But, he's not a rule follower and continues to work things in his own fashion, ruffling feathers along the way.
I devoured Desert Star, immediately caught up again in Connelly's writing and plotting. Both are outstanding. Connelly knows what he's writing. The dialogue, interactions, investigation and more have the ring of authenticity.
An easy five stars.
And I'll leave you to ponder this.... is it ever okay to do the wrong thing for the right reason?

Hieronymus ‘Harry’ Bosch has spent most of his life investigating crime in Los Angeles, both as a detective for LAP and thereafter in a private capacity. Now nearing, or maybe slightly beyond, the age of seventy, he may be a bit slower physically, but his determination for justice remains
In this capacity, Ballard has recruited Bosch to help out as a volunteer, along with a handful of colleagues, most of whom are also retired from careers in different aspects of law enforcement. Ballard has identified one case as a priority as it involves the murder several years before of the sister of the politician who ad campaigned for the establishment of the Unit. Bosch is assigned various tasks, but is also keen to work on an other case that Ballard has drawn from the archives. This was the murder of a whole family which Bosch had investigated while still on the force. When he learns that new DNA evidence may have been uncovered he is keen to pursue the lead,
Connelly lets the narrative unfold with his customary dexterity. Before becoming a novelist he worked as a journalist, covering the crime beat. The skills he acquired in that career are evident in his novels, where the story is offered with great clarity and directness. I try to encourage members of my own team, which among other things deals with ministerial correspondence to follow the drafter’s ABC; accuracy, brevity and clarity, and it is clear that Connelly abides by the same rule.
Bosch is a well-crafted character. He has now featured in nearly thirty novels, during which he has aged in real time, which lends great verisimilitude to the stories. His motto is that, ‘Everyone counts, or nobody counts’, and this drives his keenness to investigate every crime that he can. Ballard is hewn from similar stock, and has clearly been influenced by Bosch during their few encounters in previous cases.
This si another very sound, and very welcome, addition to the Bosch canon.

Towards the end of the Dark Hours, the previous novel in this sequence, Bosch had panned to go into partnership as private investigators with his considerably younger sometime colleague, Detective Renee Ballard, who had become so disaffected with the many failings of LAPD. At the end of that novel, however, she had been enticed to remain on the force, and had been installed as head of a new cold case unit, which has been established by the department at the behest of a prominent local politician.In this capacity, Ballard has recruited Bosch to help out as a volunteer, along with a handful of colleagues, most of whom are also retired from careers in different aspects of law enforcement.

In Michael Connelly's latest Ballard & Bosch mystery, the new Open-Unsolved Unit is housed in the same building as the records of over 6,000 cold cases-- an area Bosch calls "the Library of Lost Souls", a poetic and sobering name. Desert Star shows us just what type of work it takes from each
Naturally, the powers-that-be go back on their promises and insist on adding people to her team that Ballard doesn't want as well as deciding what her caseload focus should be. This adds tension to an already fraught situation since Ballard's right-hand man (Bosch) keeps going rogue and doing his own thing.
As always, Connelly provides masterful twists and turns. When all evidence seemed to be pointing squarely at one character early on, I thought to myself, "It can't be that easy!"-- and it wasn't. I knew I could count on Connelly.
By the end of Desert Star, I was left with one disturbing question: What does the future hold in store for Harry? He is one character whom I want to be immortal... even though I know that he can't be.

Renée Ballard quit the LAPD a year ago because she became fed up with the way the department worked, especially regarding women. Then her ex-boss asked her to return and “write her own ticket.” She began to rebuild the dormant cold case unit in the Robbery-Homicide Department. Most of the team
The first person she wanted but the last one she hired was Harry Bosch, who had retired from his police position a few years previously. While he had numerous successful outcomes to his cases, especially murders, he was tormented by one case he hadn’t been able to solve, the murder of an entire family, including two children, whose bodies were found in a desert miles from their home.
Ballard promises Harry that he can work on that case but there were some priorities. One of them was the rape and murder of a teenage girl more than two decades ago. The councilman was her older brother. He was the one who found her body and reopened the unit. He also had the power to close it if it wasn’t successful.
As head of the unit, Ballard set the rules and tone. Her primary interest was solving cases to keep the unit alive. She quickly learned that Bosch had his own methods and agenda, e.g., copying materials that were not supposed to be copied. But their previous history enabled her to be lenient with him.
There were two main problems in the unit. One was the member forced on her. He was a pipe-line to the councilman’s office. The second was a woman who was excellent on finding information online but also relied a lot on her feelings and instincts. Unfortunately, that sometimes included her touching evidence which could compromise the results of the investigation.
With new investigative tools available, the team was able to match DNA from the sister’s case to another similar cold case. There were eleven years between them and Bosch realized there were probably other murders in between them. But old techniques still can work. One of Bosch’s technique, especially after an unannounced visit, was to stand on the person’s porch and smoke a cigarette, listening to hear if they called anyone and what they said.
On the whole, the characters are realistic, changing as the situation changes. Harry, now seventy-years-old acts his age.

Part 1 I found boring, even skipping through many pages. Part 2 was better, but not much. Connelly seems to be phasing Bosch out. That's to bad because the Harry Bosch series was one of the best police procedural, detectives series out there. So long Harry, it was a great run.

Desert Star, Michael Connelly, author; Titus Welliver, Christine Lakin, Peter Giles, narrators
Renee Ballard and Harry Bosch had not seen each other for a while, not since she decided to stay with the police force and not team up with him. Harry had retired from the force under an undeserved storm
Renee is now in charge of a new division looking into cold cases. She wants Harry’s help. She cannot hire him as a police officer, but he is the best person out there for the job she has to fill. She knows she can use his help. She also trusts him and can work well with him. She calls him and pitches her idea. He eagerly accepts the job as a volunteer working for her office.
The first thing Harry does is what he does best; he directly disobeys her orders and copies records. Renee understands his reason, and although angry, she lets it go after getting his promise not to do it again. One wonders, however, will he do it again anyway? Together, with the rest of the team, Ballard and Bosch begin to investigate two cold cases. One case is a case that Bosch had never been able to solve, a case that had haunted him. An entire family, including two children, had been brutally murdered in a gangland style killing. The murderer was never caught. The other unsolved case concerned a suspected serial killer. In their effort to solve that case, they learned of a young man sitting in prison that had been wrongfully convicted of a murder he had not committed. They set out to try and free him by reopening that case, as well.
The book is sometimes confusing because of the many characters; perhaps there are simply too many tangents involved. In the process of investigating the cold cases, Harry is often in danger. As the investigations progress, they expose corrupt police practices. They reveal that corrupt judges and corrupt politicians make deals with each other. They reveal a system that is flawed. Innocent scapegoats are often blamed for the sins of the guilty. With an election coming up, the politicians cared more about votes than innocence or guilt, and that mindset is sadly in our own headlines today, with the current President’s White House.
The book makes one thing clear, there is a question that must be answered. Is it ever okay to do the wrong thing for the right reason? Is it ever okay for law enforcement or the people’s representatives to cut corners and ignore the rules? Another question the reader will ponder, at the end is whether or not the Harry Bosch character will be retired? I sure hope not. I will miss him.

Now the place is running on volunteers, and she is re-activating Bosch for a specific case that needs solving
As often, the plot consists of two cases running in parallel, the 30 year old murder of a council members (Ballards sponsor) sister, and the equally old murder of a family buried in the desert.
