The Night Fire is Connelly's twenty firstouting with Bosch, but the author has so much more to show us about him. Onlythree books in, Ballard has even more fodder for Connelly to uncover. In The Night Fire , Connelly again shows hismission: strong plots and sturdy characters."-- Oline Cogdill, Sun Sentinel, "Connelly is theRaymond Chandler of this generation, and readers will be studying his writingmethods decades from now.

A supremely intelligent, well-paced courtroom thriller by a modern master." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred review), "One of the finest legal thrillers of the last decade... Connelly's novels have long been distinguished by his mastery of the complexities of the justice system including an ability to get police and courtroom procedures exactly right." -- Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press, "A tightly crafted thriller, with some nice crossover flair to boot (fans of Harry Bosch always enjoy seeing him show up in new places)." -- Dwyer Murphy, Crimereads, "There's something for everyone in this jam-packedplot: murder, arson, professional rivalry, salty cop talk and noisy domesticdisputes 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 theHollywood Division are sent to investigate a murder. Connelly is pretty muchthe current dean of procedural writers."-- Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
