This was a good read. Though Bosch is never mentioned in the book. This is a standalone novel, that follows Cassie Black after she gets out of jail from serving a 5-year sentence from a botched robbery. She gets pulled back into her old ways, needs money, and decides to do another casino heist. This time, she comes to her senses and realizes its not worth it, but others are after her. Does she escape the killer Karch or does she fall victim to another of his ruthless executions?

"Cassie Black is lured back to a profession she'd left behind - robbing casino gamblers of their winnings - by a set up that looks too good to ignore. However, this one gambler has too much money, which means too much power and soon Cassie is running from a stone-cold killer." (From Amazon)
I just could not get into this book or like the main character, Cassie. I did finish this novel so it is readable just not my cup of tea.

I have a hard time getting into other characters of Connelly’s. I didn’t live this one, but the story was well-written and engaging. The characters seemed flat to me.

Such a great read. The technology referenced is a little dated, but it doesn’t matter. This story gallops forward and the two central characters have resonance although neither is virtuous. I hope someone thinks about putting this propulsive tale on film.
