Hieronymus Bosch is also the main
character in a number of
Michael Connelly murder mysteries, including
The Black Echo,
The Black Ice,
The Concrete Blonde,
A Darkness More Than Night (my favorite, of the admittedly few I've read),
City of Bones,
Angels Flight,
Trunk Music, and
The Last Coyote. I believe that's all that are currently out, though not necessarily in the order written.
Going mostly by the name
Harry, Bosch is named after
the artist, whose work plays a role in A Darkness More Than Night.
Most of Connelly's work consists of Bosch mysteries, though he has written a few others, including
Void Moon and
Blood Work (which is currently (2002) being made into a
movie starring
Clint Eastwood).
Bosch is an LAPD detective who has a severe distaste for authority; when we meet him in The Last Coyote, he has just been suspended from the force and sent to a psychologist for throwing his boss though the window in the front of his boss's office.
