Connelly, Michael - The Waiting (Hardcover)

The Waiting by Michael Connelly is a gripping crime thriller featuring Detective Renée Ballard as she takes on one of the most challenging cases of her career. Now leading the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, Ballard is determined to solve cold cases that others have long abandoned. When a recent arrest reveals a familial DNA link to the infamous Pillowcase Rapist, it becomes clear that the original criminal’s son may still be active. As she pieces together the decades-old mystery, Ballard also finds herself caught in a high-stakes investigation when her badge and gun are stolen, leading her to a chilling discovery of a potential terrorist plot.

As the pressure mounts, Ballard seeks assistance from retired detective Harry Bosch and his daughter Maddie Bosch, a newly minted LAPD patrol officer. Together, they navigate a complex web of old secrets, dangerous adversaries, and legal roadblocks. With time running out and lives on the line, Ballard must balance justice, duty, and personal sacrifice in a case that could redefine her future in law enforcement. Connelly delivers a masterfully woven narrative filled with tension, intricate plotting, and the kind of realism that has made his crime novels international bestsellers.
