Crime Beat: A Decade of Covering Cops and Killers
Michael Connelly
Little, Brown, May 2006, $25.95
ISBN 031615377X
Bestselling mystery author Michael provides a true crime look at his days as crime reporter in Florida and California. CRIME BEAT is divided into three overall segments, "The Cops," "The Killers" and "The Cases". Within each, Mr. Connelly provides a wide range of stories that he covered as a journalist. The true stories are fascinating in that macabre way that makes the genre such a success. Not shockingly, the most poignant moments involve combat fatigue syndrome detectives dealing with bereaving family members of victims with what went down. Fans of the author's mysteries and those who appreciate true crime will want to read this powerful look at the real life underlying basis to much of Mr. Connelly's fiction.
