Desert Star: The Brand New Blockbuster Ballard & Bosch Thriller

Product Information

When the enemy is shooting at the Helikite he is doing little damage but instead he is giving himself and his position away, which is normally very bad news for the insurgent. Desert Star is another very satisfying cold case mystery that provided me with exactly the type of complicated investigation I was hoping for and I was happy to once again be taken along for the ride.

The Chief of Police offers her a new start, to which she agrees, but leaves her colleagues behind to resurrect the Cold Case squad within the LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division. Unlike any other aerostat in the world, the balloon is an integral part of the aerodynamic structure of the Helikite.These desert plants also look gorgeous as a small houseplant, in a rock garden, or an open terrarium.

I just got tired of her telling Harry she was a boss and needed to do what she asked (and then they both ignored it like five minutes later) and didn’t realize the pitfalls of two of her volunteers til way later than someone like her should. The characters progess and grow over time with poigant observation, relevant plots, and up to date technology. The round green cactus has yellow or white sharp spines, and the plant produces a crown of small yellow flowers. Once again, Bosch is seeking justice for murder victims and their families and while I wasn't a huge fan of Ballard at first, I really warmed to her in this novel. Jake's parents had since died and he was desperate to have the killer of his sister captured so he could put her ghost to rest.Serial killers have been found through the DNA that was found in distant relatives on those commercial DNA sites. I chose to listen to the audio because my husband loves these Bosch novels, and we are in the car traveling across the county. Although still a bit rough in the personalities, their common bonds that bind them – being outsiders, extremely stubborn, and refusing to obey structured rules and policies – is what makes the partnership really work for me. It features, of course, ex-cop Harry Bosch who is still strutting his stuff (albeit rather more slowly these days) in his home city of Los Angeles.
