This is a very good+ copy of the pre-first edition advance reading copy. The Arc shows very minor shelf wear. Mr. Connelly is the best-selling author of Void Moon and Bloodwork. He has won an Edgar Award as well as the Nero Wolfe prize. A Darkness More Than Night explores the darkest precincts of Los Angeles and the hidden corners of the human heart. It is Michael Connelly's most brilliantly plotted novel to date, a riveting courtroom spectacle woven together with a nerve-wracking investigation. We are pleased to send pictures on request.
