Three decades, thirty-five novels and one city. Michael Connelly has built his entire body of work in Los Angeles, through the courts, the precincts and the pressrooms, and the characters who move through those worlds have become some of the most recognisable in crime fiction. Haller the defence attorney, Bosch the detective, McEvoy the journalist: each a different way of understanding the same city, each occasionally crossing into the others' stories. This is Connelly's range in a single set.
Michael Connelly, 'Law of Innocence' - Heading home after a courtroom victory, Mickey Haller is pulled over by police. A body is in the boot. Charged with murder, he must now defend himself from a jail cell.
Michael Connelly, 'The Night Fire' - After his mentor's funeral, Harry Bosch is handed a stolen murder book from 1990. What lit the dead man's fire, and did he actually want it solved? Can Bosch and Ballard find out?
Michael Connelly, 'The Scarecrow' - Facing redundancy, crime reporter Jack McEvoy investigates a murder confession that does not hold. The trail leads to a cyber-security expert who has been hunting victims below police radar and is now tracking McEvoy.
