Críticas:

A brilliantly controlled narrative ... Connelly has two great skills. One is the creation of characters who live and breathe, so that we care about them far more than we do for the cardboard figures stamped out by most thriller writers. His second skill is a mastery of pace. His books are page-turners, and the author is in sublime control of the speed at which we turn those pages. With Void Moon I found myself turning very fast indeed (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

This is pulse-quickening stuff from a writer who remains ingeniously and grimly satisfying (ARENA)

Destined for bestsellerdom ... This is a gem of a book that breaks Connelly's fractured male hero mould and introduces a feisty female crimininal, Cassie Black ... You'll quickly be rooting for the hapless con artist as the plot moves in the most unlikely directions at a pace that never flags. This is Connelly at his very best, and you can't say better than that (GUARDIAN)

Connelly is a crime-writing genius. His Harry Bosch stories are genuine modern classics, and this one's in the same league ... Unmissable (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)

A wonderfully pacy and intelligent thriller (TIME OUT)

VOID MOON is Michael Connelly at his best, and that is the very best where thriller writing is concerned (IRISH TIMES)

This is thriller writing of the highest quality, brilliantly paced and impossible to put down (MAIL ON SUNDAY)

Reseña del editor:

This breathtakingly original new thriller set in a glittery, surreal Las Vegas brings us Michael Connelly's most appealing hero yet: a woman caught up in a scam that may cost her the one thing she holds dearer than her own life.

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. Her work goes as planned, except that the mark has too much money, so much that someone very powerful must be very angry. Cassie soon finds herself running from a stone cold killer who somehow knows her every move in advance. He also appears to be closing in on Cassie's most closely guarded secret, the one thing that could have caused her to return to crime - and the one thing she will do anything to protect.
