"The Night Fire offers more than a few incendiary
surprises."--Paula L. Woods, Los Angeles Times
"A virtuoso performance...The Night Fire glows with the instincts
and intelligence Bosch and Ballard bring to their pursuit of the
truth."--Collette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
"Breathless action...deep character studies...The Night Fire is
Connelly's twenty first outing with Bosch, but the author has so
much more to show us about him. Only three books in, Ballard has
even more fodder for Connelly to uncover. In The Night Fire,
Connelly again shows his mission: strong plots and sturdy
characters."--Oline Cogdill, Sun Sentinel
"Connelly is the Raymond Chandler of this generation, and readers
will be studying his writing methods decades from now. He has
created another novel that feels authentic on every level, and the
underlying theme of mortality running through the narrative makes
everything in the story more urgent."--Jeff Ayers, Associated
Press
"Connelly is without peer when it comes to police procedurals, and
once again proves that he's the modern master of the
form."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Connelly manages to top himself with his latest intensely gripping
thriller...He tells a superb tale with an economy of words using a
no-nonsense, fly-on-the-wall style of writing...Fans of this
prolific author of crime dramas and either series will find this
best-seller-list-bound novel hard to put down."--Library Journal
(starred review)
"It was only last year that Connelly introduced Ballard, a fierce
and fascinating new protagonist who instantly emerged as a reader
favorite. Bosch, meanwhile, is a grizzled veteran by now; Dark
Sacred Night marks the 21st novel to center on him. But fans always
finish eager to come back for more."--David Canfield, Entertainment
Weekly
"Michael Connelly is superhuman...His hallmark has been his
precise, faultless plotting...He's always been especially good when
it comes to truly creepy killers, and his denouement here is
thrilling."--Charles Finch, USA Today
"One of the best and most affecting Bosch novels since Mr. Connelly
began the Bosch saga in 1992...It seems as is the vulnerable Harry
Bosch has met the sympathetic Ren�e Ballard just in the nick of
time."--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
"One of the greatest crime writers of all time...Connelly continues
to deliver winner after winner, year in and year out...reading one
of his books is an experience unlike anything else the genre has to
offer."--Ryan Steck, Crimereads
"Readers know that when they pick up a Michael Connelly novel they
will get a compelling and well-written dive into the world of crime
and law enforcement...What makes Connelly so much better than most
crime fiction writers is that his police detectives are human and
real. The combination is quality."--Jeff Ayers, Associated
Press
"Remarkable narrative legerdemain...Not only has Connelly created
another fully formed series lead in Ren�e, who has her own
fascinating backstory, but he has also forged a fascinating
yin-and-yang relationship between the old school Harry and the
unconventional loner Ren�e...Master chef Connelly has once again
combined familiar ingredients into a new and completely satisfying
dish. Connelly is on a roll, with three consecutive number-one New
York Times bestsellers. Don't bet against number four."--Bill Ott,
Booklist (starred review)
"Spectacular...Dark Sacred Night is ingenious, frantically
suspenseful, and very, very bleak."--Maureen Corrigan, Washington
Post
"There's something for everyone in this jam-packed plot: murder,
arson, professional rivalry, salty cop talk and noisy domestic
disputes that turn very ugly very quickly. Me, I go for the
procedural details: who does what and how things get done from the
minute the cops on shift at the Hollywood Division are sent to
investigate a murder. Connelly is pretty much the current dean of
procedural writers."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book
