Death is my beat. Those words, spoken by the narrator and hero of The Poet, Jack McEvoy, could also apply to Michael Connelly.

Eigensinnig, gewissenhaft und tough. Harry Bosch ist in Rente gegangen und nicht mehr beim Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), aber sein Halbbruder, der Anwalt Mickey Haller, braucht die Hilfe des erfahrenen Ermittlers. Eine Frau ist im Schlafzimmer ihres Hauses brutal ermordet worden, und alle Indizien deuten auf einen von Hallers Klienten.

Lorsque, dix ans après les faits, le mariachi Orlando Merced succombe à ses blessures, l'inspecteur Harry Bosch hérite d'un vrai cas d'école à enseigner à la jeune inspectrice Lucia Soto. Hormis une balle retrouvée à l'autopsie, les pistes sont inexistantes. Plus ennuyeux, et dangereux pour Bosch, Lucia semble beaucoup s'intéresser à un autre dossier, et mettre son nez là où il ne faut pas.

Harry Bosch fait le lien entre la balle d'un crime récent et celle d'une affaire remontant à 1992 sur laquelle il avait enquêté. À l'époque, une jeune photographe avait été tuée durant les émeutes de Los Angeles et son crime était resté impuni. Vingt ans plus tard, la balistique démontre que sa mort n'était pas le fait du hasard. Comme un enquêteur devant expliquer un accident d'avion, Harry Bosch va rechercher la boîte noire, la pièce à conviction qui reliera les deux enquêtes.

Abandonnée par son mari, Lisa Trammel n'a soudain plus assez d'argent pour payer ses mensualités d'emprunt immobilier, et la Westland National Bank menace de saisir sa maison. Affolée, elle engage l'avocat Mickey Haller mais elle est si révoltée par les saisies liées à la crise des subprimes qu'elle manifeste souvent et violemment devant la banque au point de s'en voir interdire l'accès par la justice. Malheureusement pour Haller qui espérait gagner du temps en faisant traîner la procédure, le dossier se corse quand sa cliente est accusée du meurtre de Mitchell Bondurant, un cadre dirigeant de la Westland retrouvé mort dans le parking de son agence.

Grand avocat de la défense, Mickey Haller est fort surpris lorsque le procureur du comté de Los Angeles lui demande de plaider pour l'accusation. Et l'affaire est importante : incarcéré depuis vingt-quatre ans pour le meurtre d'une fillette, Jason Jessup vient d'être libéré, le tribunal souhaitant une révision de son procès après un test ADN qui semble l'innocenter. Haller est persuadé que Jessup est coupable et prend Harry Bosch comme enquêteur.

Hollywood vs. The Author is a collection of non-fiction anecdotes by authors who’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the development room firsthand - some who have successfully managed to straddle the two worlds, seeing their works morph into the kinds of feature films and TV shows that make them proud, and others who stepped blindsided into that room after selling their first or second novels. All the stories in this collection illustrate the great divide between the world of literature and the big or small screen.
