The Night Fire is a 2019 crime novel by Michael Connelly. It is the 23rd novel featuring his most common protagonist, former LAPD cop Harry Bosch, and the third featuring his newest protagonist, present-day LAPD cop Renee Ballard.Bosch attends the funeral of his first partner and mentor in homicide investigation, John Jack Thompson. He is surprised when, after the funeral, Thompson's widow gives him something she found among his possessions: a complete case file for an LAPD homicide investigation, also known as a "murder book", about the 1990 murder of drug user and ex-con John Hilton. Hilton was shot and killed in his car in an alley known as a hangout for drug dealers, and the detectives at the time assumed that it was a simple matter of a drug user going out to score and instead getting robbed of his money and shot. Harry is intrigued, but he's 69 years old and out of law enforcement for good after the events of previous novel Dark Sacred Night, so he goes to his new, informal partner, Hollywood homicide detective Renee Ballard. The duo discover one puzzling detail: there is nothing in the murder book after Thompson took it out of the files, no indication that he ever worked it himself. Bosch begins to wonder just why Thompson took the file.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meanwhile, both Bosch and Ballard have other cases. Bosch is working as a defense investigator for his brother Mickey Haller, on what seems to be an open-and-shut case: Haller's client confessed to murdering a judge, Judge Walter Montgomery, and DNA from the client was found under the judge's fingernail. But Haller is convinced his client didn't do it and sure enough, Bosch discovers that the seemingly simple case is actually much more complicated. Ballard for her part is investigating the death of a homeless man who died when his tent caught on fire; it looks like the man kicked over a portable gas-powered heater, but Renee has doubts.While all this is going on, Bosch is dealing with some bad personal news: he has been diagnosed with early-stage leukemia. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| The Night Fire / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: We never do find out if the case of the 11-year-old girl who hanged herself was really suicide or actually murder. Renee has her suspicions: the mother did not cut her daughter down and the father, when Renee made the call, did not ask how his daughter killed herself. But Ballard has no evidence. | |

Artistic License – Law: Michael Connelly admits in the postscript that the steps for getting a wiretap are actually quite complicated but were "shortened for dramatic purposes". | |

Amoral Attorney | |
| The Night Fire / int_b5b3599d | comment |
Amoral Attorney: Taken to the extreme. It turns out that the law firm of Michaelson and Mitchell, and specifically Michaelson and his underling Clayton Manley, have been using a hit woman to murder for them. The homeless man was killed by the hit woman because he was actually the heir to a lot of money that his brother, a Michaelson and Mitchell client, wanted. And Manley had Judge Montgomery murdered because Montgomery embarrassed him in court and damaged his career. | |
