(36,530 posts)44. Connelly description
My favorite series since Spencer or Travis McGee. Harry Bosch is an LAPD homicide detective, so most of the stories are mysteries brought on in his line of work. Connelly has several other books with other series characters, but they occasionally intertwine in each others' story lines. Bosch has also made a cameo appearance in a Robert Crais book, meeting Elvis Cole on the front steps of LAPD HQ as they leave the building.
List of books and other appearances:

(The rest of the Connelly books are just as good, IMO.)
