Crime beat: True stories of cops and killers. Michael Connelly.

Crime beat: True stories of cops and killers. Michael Connelly.
Crime beat
Stranger than fiction and every bit as gripping, this non-fiction collection contains an introduction by Michael Connelly and an afterword by Michael Carlson. '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. Electronic reproduction.
