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: One Morning An Editor Called Me And Told Me To Swing By A Murder Scene On My Way To The Office. Just Like That, Like I Was Picking Up A Coffee On The Way To Work... I Went As Instructed And Got The Story. I Also Got The Place Where I Would Put The Home Of The Fictional Detective I Had Secretly Begun Writing About... The Cops. The Killers. The Cases. A Must For All Connelly Fans.
