Started reading and will do occasionally… Moments. It all comes down to moments. I have been watching the detectives for more than thirty years. It all started because of a single moment. The best things that I have seen and taken into my imagination and then seeded into my fiction came to me in moments. Sometimes I am haunted by the what ifs. What if I hadn't looked out my car window that night when I was sixteen? What if I hadn't seen the detective take off his glasses? What if I had gone to L.A. for the first time a day later, or I hadn't answered the phone the time my editor called me to send me up the hill to check out a murder? Crime Beat is a collection of journalistic crime articles written by Micheal Connelly during the 80s and early 90s before he became a full time author. They are rather interesting to read since they rarely read as a newspaper articles but as short essays about a person, a victim or a crime. In many cases there is a final note attached to the articles telling the reader what happened in the years after the article was written. The main reasons to read these articles is to learn more about the author and his inspiration, and to get an insight into real crime in the Los Angeles area. And several of the real crimes or criminals have clearly been inspirational in later Harry Bosch books. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série éditorialeDistinctions
From Connelly's first career as a prizewinning crime reporter--the true stories that inspired and informed his novels. Covering the homicide beat in Florida and Los Angeles in vivid, hard-hitting articles, Connelly leads the reader past the yellow police tape as he follows the investigators, the victims, their families and friends--and, of course, the killers--to tell the real stories of murder and its aftermath. Connelly's firsthand observations would lend inspiration to his novels, from The Black Echo, which was drawn from a real-life bank heist, to Trunk Music, based on an unsolved case of a man found in the trunk of his Rolls Royce. And the vital details of his best-known characters, both heroes and villains, would be drawn from the cops and killers he reported on: from loner detective Harry Bosch to the manipulative serial killer the Poet.--From publisher description.
