Publisher Description

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 chance, and how, in the end, it might all be a matter of the moon...

"Now and then author Michael Connelly writes a crime drama not featuring his most famous character, Harry Bosch or his "brother from another mother" Mickey Haller. Void Moon is one of them. Paroled convict, Cassie Black, is pulled back into the life of crime for what seems to be a simple caper at a Vegas casino. All she has to do is get the combination to the hotel room safe occupied by a big roller. Neither the job or her background are simple in this enjoyable novel."

— Skyler (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “[This] riveting crime caper proves that Connelly is one of our premier suspense writers.”

    — Entertainment Weekly
  • “In Void Moon, the job’s high-tech gadgets and split second timing ratchet up the tension. Michael Connelly is outstanding.”

    — Wall Street Journal
  • “A slick, highly professional thriller that does not disappoint.”

    — Washington Post Book World
  • “There are several suspense novels decorating bestseller lists, but for style and substance along with thrilling action, Void Moon is the only game in town.”

    — Los Angeles Times
  • “Connelly has come up with yet another gem, a well-crafted crime tale that evokes Richard Stark’s hard-boiled Parker novels…As ever, the author delivers well-rounded characters…Add to this Connelly’s painstaking attention to detail, and you end up with high-octane entertainment.”

    — Barnes & Noble
  • “Connelly has written his best book to date. In astrology, a void moon is considered bad luck, but Connelly’s Void Moon is better than a four-leaf clover. Highly recommended.”

    — Library Journal
  • “L. J. Ganser delivers a mesmerizing and nuanced performance. In creating Jack Karch, the bon vivant Vegas private eye who moonlights as a hit man, Ganser settles on a genial, almost charming delivery, underplaying the character’s sinister psychopathology and adding to the suspense. As hunted and hunter race across the twists and turns of the novel’s shadowy landscape, author and reader combine to make all the right moves.”

    — Publishers Weekly (audio review)
  • “Void Moon races with a wind-swept breathlessness that no other Connelly book duplicates or even approaches.”

    — Book Magazine
  • “Ganser’s narration is crisp and clear at the beginning,…smooth and accomplished by the end.”

    " Ehhh. This is one of those books where the rush to get a set of characters into a couple of melodramatic tableaus drives all the action. And then, they get there, and it's kind of conventional what they say and do. So unless you need to read all mysteries set in Vegas, or all mysteries by Michael Connelly, I wouldn't worry too much about it. "

    " Although best known for the Harry Bosch novels - the west coast's procedural magnus opus to set against, say, James Lee Burke's southwestern atmospheric magnus opus - Michael Connelly allows himself to try out other characters from time to time. Void Moon - as far as I'm aware, the only one of his books whose principal character is female - is a little gem of a crime novel. Gutsy and fast-paced it's a real pleasure to read. "

    " Often feel like such books as Void Moon are an extension of the Hardy Boys series of my youth. They do not nourish, but they do distract, which may be its point. "

    " Michael Connelly. Need I say more? He is the master. This is a stand alone, non-Harry Bosch and finds Cassie Black on one last heist. Things spin way out of control. Void Moon is a fast-paced thriller of a book. Read it. You won't be able to turn the pages fast enough. "
