I found this novel to be a bit complicated in places but I enjoyed reading Michael Connelly as ever! Cassie and her boyfriend Max did one last job in Las Vegas, a heist. Then the book moves forward five years and Cassie is now an ex-con who is looking at a house where the couple are moving to Paris. The couple have a daughter Jodie who is in fact Cassie and Max's daughter who was given up for adoption. Max died in the last robbery in Vegas.
Cassie, in an attempt to get her daughter back, decides to commit one more crime so that she can get enough money to kidnap Jodie before her parents move to Paris. This job involves her returning to the Cleo casino where her last job was and where Max died. She gets the job through Max's half brother and he warns her not to go to the victim's room between 3.22 and 3.38 in the morning as that time is a Void Moon in astrology.
Max was killed during a Void Moon and Cassie discovers that the man she is to rob is a courier for the mafia and he has $2.5 million on him and not the $500K that they thought. In the morning the man is found dead.
The casino manager hires an investigator/hitman to track down the money and the story twists and turns from there. This story features big money, the mafia, kidnapping and family ties. Everything is not as it seems, as ever!
Worth a read and 7/10 for me.
