«La lune était noire» is the crime novel by Michael Connelly, published by Seuil in 2000, in paperback (375 pages, in French).
Cassie Black, a former convict on parole, decides to rob the suite of a high roller at the Cleopatra casino in Las Vegas to protect a secret and win back her daughter. The casino security, run by the sadistic Karch, turns the heist into a desperate flight forward, and what seemed like a clean robbery hides a much bigger game.
The novel, originally published as «Void Moon» in 1999, appears in this French edition with a translation by Robert Pépin and is set within the Harry Bosch universe.
For crime fiction readers looking for a thriller about heists and casinos with a protagonist at the edge.
