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.Stranger than fiction and every bit as gripping, these pieces show once again that Michael Connelly is not only a master of his craft, but also one of the great American writers in any form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51534310310176,"sku":"NEW031615377X","price":17.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61w7TjwZ7cL.jpg?v=1777358733","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/crime-beat-a-decade-of-covering-cops-and-killers-031615377x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
