    About this ebook

    The #1 New York Times–bestselling author brings you into the world of the LAPD’s Harry Bosch, and the history that shaped him.

    In this short work, Michael Connelly delves into the origins of his famed police detective,—how he faced down the horrors of his childhood (a background story that was based on the life of another renowned crime writer); his past as a tunnel rat in Vietnam; and why jazz is his soundtrack. Connelly also shares the story of how his character Hieronymus Bosch came to be named after a fifteenth-century Flemish painter, and how his own youthful experiences of fear led to his literary creation. Those who have followed the cases of this tough cop more interested in justice than ambition will find much to enjoy and to ponder in this behind-the-scenes account.

    “Connelly truly is one of the finest mystery writers.” —South Florida Sun Sentinel

    “No writer exploits Los Angeles—its geography, its historical power wars, its celebrity culture, its lore—as compellingly as Connelly.” ?Chicago Tribune

      A Mysterious Profile

      Michael Connelly

      Hieronymus Bosch

      A few years ago I was on a book tour that took me to Bryn Mawr on the Main Line outside of Philadelphia. I got in early and had some free time before my reading, so I steered the rental car west to the small town of Devon. At least it was a small town in the mid 1960s when I lived there as a boy with my family.

      By staying close to the railroad line I was able to find Highland Avenue without difficulty. It was here that my family lived in a middle class neighborhood close to the tracks. Our house was a two-story white colonial that my father, a contractor, had designed and built.

      I stopped the car in front of the house at 321 Highland but I didn’t get out. I just sat behind the wheel and looked up at the house for a while. Things had
