The Waiting (Renée Ballard, #6)

by Michael Connelly

“Paul, I don’t suppose we’ve heard anything from Darcy or the DOJ?” she asked. “Not yet,” Masser said. “Hopefully tomorrow. It’s like that old Tom Petty song.” “What song?” “‘The Waiting.’ You know, the bit about it being the hardest part.” He sang the lyrics but Ballard shook her head like she didn’t recognize it. “Oh, come on,” Masser said. “It was a huge hit.” He sang some more, then stopped when he realized Ballard was playing him. “Ah, fuck you,” he said.
