    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    ONE OF AMAZON'S BEST MYSTERY/THRILLERS OF THE YEAR

    * * * * *

    Detective Renée Ballard works 'The Late Show', the notorious graveyard shift at the LAPD.

    It's thankless work for a once-promising detective, keeping strange hours in a twilight world of crime.

    Some nights are worse than others. And tonight is the worst yet.

    Two shocking cases, hours apart: a brutal assault, and a multiple murder with no suspects.

    Ballard knows it is always darkest before dawn. But what she doesn't know - yet - is how deep her investigation will take her into the dark heart of her city, the police department and her own past...

    The Late Show will keep you up all night: it's time to meet Detective Renée Ballard.
