Recently I acquired a discounted collection of Michael Connelly’s novels[1], foremost among them the more than twenty novels featuring LAPD[2] homicide detective Hieronymous “Harry” Bosch, and I was instantly hooked and spent two weeks binge-reading them.

What impressed me about Connelly’s novels, apart from the fact that he is a brilliant story teller, is the meticulous research which has gone into providing a lot of factual information about the LAPD and other Los Angeles institutions.

Because I find the Wikipedia article about Harry Bosch well-written and informative, I am including much of it here:
