Michael Connelly : The Last Coyote

Besides reading every year a novel by James Ellroy i also read annualy a Michael Connelly. I stick to the Harry Bosch series. A few weeks ago i ended 'The Last Coyote'. Sometimes Harry Bosch reminds me of the the main characters James Ellroy uses. Harry Bosch is sometimes as unusual and onorthodox as an LAPD cop as is for instance Dwight C. Holly in 'Blood's A Rover'. But then it might seem as Harry Bosch has an ethical code which lacks the Ellroy main characters? At first glance i would say yes, then with 'Blood's A Rover' in mind i might have to reconcile my vision (don't want to give too much away for those who still have to read Blood's A Rover.

Dennis Lehane wrote an article for Il Corriere della Sera on April 30, 2009 which now has been posted to Michael Connelly's site. It deals with the new Harry Bosch novel called 'Nine Dragons'. I don't care in particular for the Dennis Lehane novels, but if he writes about a true master it might be interesting.

Speaking of Ellroy, i haven't read much reviews yet of 'Blood's A Rover'; if you found some online reviews please send me a message.
