New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly writes novels of brilliantly original suspense. In this electrifying tour de force, he takes us into a world of extremes: too much criminality, too much money, and too many ways to die. In L.A. Cassie Black is another beautiful woman in a Porsche: except Cassie just did six years in prison and still has "outlaw juice" flowing in her veins. Now Cassie is returning to her old profession, taking down a money man in Vegas. But the perfect heist goes very wrong, and suddenly Cassie is on the run--with a near-psychotic Vegas "fixer" killing everyone who knew about the job. Between Cassie and the man hunting her are a few last secrets: like who really set up the job, why Cassie had to take the change, and how, in the end, it might all be a matter of the moon...

2 stars

Too much detailing the minutiae of high-tech surveillance equipment, describing every action in setting it up, step-by-step motions in card tricks, etc.
The main premise (the protag's end game) is unrealistic and doesn't jibe with her moral character, even though she's uninteresting and unsympathetic. Also, there are no likable characters in the book. And the whole thing is all very predictable.
Was this the first novel Connelly wrote, then shelved for years, then his agent said "Hey, let's publish that thing."? Sure seems like it.

Although this is a "Harry Bosch Universe" book, Harry Bosch – nor any detective – does not appear! At first, I despaired and thought that I wouldn't actually like any of the characters nor the plot itself. I was so wrong! The character whom I liked best appeared to have a fatal flaw (character-wise) early on, but she redeemed herself and it made for a truly fascinating and interesting book! Michael Connelly STILL rules, in that he is still my current favorite mystery writer!
What appears to be a straightforward story of theft and intrigue, gets all wrapped up in the intrigue part. No one is who he/she appears to be, and as soon as you have someone worked out, said person holds an entirely different role in your inner story. Fabulous book!
