Award-winning and bestselling novelist Michael Connelly takes his experiences as a Los Angeles crime beat journalist and offers readers an inside look into the minds of the city’s detectives and lawyers, as well as those they’re chasing after and those they battle through the courts system.
A Philadelphia native, Connelly was turned to crime fiction after discovering the works of Raymond Chandler while attending the University of Florida. He became a crime beat journalist in Fort Lauderdale, and eventually a crime reporter for The Los Angeles Times.
Connelly’s most notable characters include LAPD detective Harry Bosch and defense attorney Mickey Haller. Detective Bosch is the lead character in the procedural series that, to date, spans across seventeen novels, the most recent being The Black Box.
Two of Connelly’s thrillers have been adapted to the silver screen. First was 2002’s Blood Work directed by and starring Clint Eastwood and more recently was 2011’s The Lincoln Lawyer, which starred Matthew McConaughey as Mickey Haller. His books have been translated into 39 languages and over 45 million copies of his books have been sold worldwide.
