Series: Harry Bosch | Character: Harry Bosch
Michael Connelly is a former crime reporter who draws on his experience writing for the Los Angeles Times to create police procedurals with authentic detail. His Harry Bosch series follows a LAPD homicide detective, while his Lincoln Lawyer series follows defense attorney Mickey Haller. The two characters occasionally appear in each other’s books.
Connelly’s books are set primarily in Los Angeles, capturing the city’s complexity and diversity. He weaves real events like the Rodney King beating and 9/11 into his stories, grounding them in actual history. His prose is straightforward and focused, emphasizing plot and police procedure without unnecessary flourishes.
