Further Information
Michael Connelly is not only one of the world's best
selling mystery-thriller writers but also one of the best exponents of
what might be described as the modern genre. The writing style is highly
polished and treads a perfect balance between being very 'easy' to read
but still having substance, good plotting and decent character depth.
His main series characters are Harry Bosch, Terry McCaleb and The Poet.
Terry McCaleb was brought to the big screen by Clint Eastwood in a
Hollywood movie, whilst getting something of a mixed reaction from fans
of the books the author was realistic and accepted that once he sold the
rights he gave up any control. Interestingly he blurred fact and fiction
by actually introducing the existence of the film into subsequent books,
a nice touch. We cannot recommend this author too highly, to both
readers and collectors of first editions. Those seeking 1sts will find
the first three the most difficult, later titles saw large print runs
due to increasing popularity so are consequently fairly easy to find and
currently offer great value for money. For US collectors it is worth
noting that some of the later titles were actually first published in
the United Kingdom. |
