Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Detective Stilwell has been “exiled” to a low-key post policing rustic Catalina Island, after department politics drove him off a homicide desk on the mainland. But while following up the usual drunk-and-disorderlies and petty thefts that come with his new territory, Detective Stilwell gets a report of a body found wrapped in plastic and weighed down at the bottom of the harbor. Crossing all lines of protocol and jurisdiction, he starts doggedly working the case. Soon, his investigation uncovers closely guarded secrets and a dark heart to the serene island that was meant to be his escape from the evils of the big city.

“As always with a Connelly novel, the characters are well drawn and the prose is tight, precise, and easy to read.”Associated Press
-
“Michael Connelly has remained one of today's top mystery writers — if not the top mystery writer...Nightshade marks another bright turning point for Connelly."South Florida Sun Sentinel
-
"[Connelly's] reporter’s skills of observation make Nightshade come alive.”Los Angeles Times
-
"Connelly's compulsively readable, best-selling crime fiction is propelled by justice-seekers committed to their calling, no matter the risks...With an intriguingly low-key but skilled and principled hero, his significant other, a pesky if useful reporter, a conniving mayor, and a crime boss known as Baby Head, Nightshade is a gripping and promising start to crime virtuoso Connelly’s new series."Booklist (starred review)
-
“In this winning series launch, L.A. noir maestro Connelly...proves small-town policing can be just as high stakes as crime solving in the big city…The claustrophobic setting and layered plotting evoke the crime novels of John D. MacDonald, and Stilwell makes for an intriguing hero, with enough biographical gaps for Connelly to sketch him in further in subsequent installments. The author’s fans will be thrilled to find him working in a new register.”Publishers Weekly
-
“As with all of Connelly’s books, there’s a relentless narrative drive powering the story along to an explosive climax. His plotting, as usual, is tight and without a school of red herrings to distract the reader. Its strengths are its evocative atmosphere, realistic dialogue, and well-developed characters...Come what may, Stil is sure to soon take his place alongside Harry, Mickey, and Renee as a beloved Connelly stalwart.”Washington Independent Review of Books
