Crime Beat

‘Death is my beat.’ Those words, spoken by the narrator and hero of The Poet, could also apply to Michael Connelly. He was an award-winning journalist before he became one of the leading crime writers of his generation, the creator of the detective Harry Bosch. Crime Beat is a riveting collection of true stories which reveals, time and again, the connection between Connelly the crime reporter and Connelly the novelist. The cops. The killers. The cases. A must for Connelly fans.
