Blonde Lightning
In Earthquake Weather, Terrill Lee Lankford mined his own experiences as a player in the glamorous, ruthless movie business to create a West Coast noir hailed by T. Jefferson Parker as "part Raymond Chandler and part Nathanael West." Now get ready for another thrill ride down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams-where a wrong turn can lead to a very dead end.

A compendium of Bill Ott's Booklist column, published in the magazine since 1991, the volume includes essays about books and authors, genre fiction, life at Booklist, and much more." --Book Jacket.
The Crime World of Michael Connelly
Since his first novel in 1992, Michael Connelly has become one of America’s most popular and critically acclaimed crime writers. He is best known as the author of a long-running series featuring LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, a compelling figure in contemporary crime fiction. He also created several additional series featuring a criminal defense attorney (Mickey Haller, known as the Lincoln Lawyer), an FBI profiler (Terry McCaleb), a newspaper reporter (Jack McEvoy), and an LAPD policewoman (Renée Ballard) who works the night shift. When he began incorporating all his characters into the Bosch megaseries, he expanded the notion of what a crime series can accomplish. This work takes an in-depth look at all of Connelly’s work, including the 34 novels that comprise the Bosch megaseries, the film adaptations of his books, the popular “Bosch” TV series, and his standalone novels, short stories and podcasts. It includes chapters on his novelistic artistry and his portraits of Los Angeles and its police department.
