There’s a New Cop on Catalina

Do you remember the year 2000? Twenty-five years on, I can barely recall all the fuss over “Y2K,” but I think it was around that time when, in an airport bookstore, I spotted a novel by a writer I hadn’t yet tried, Michael Connelly, though I’d seen reviews praising him. The book at hand, if memory serves, was Angels Flight, published in hardcover in 1999 and in paperback the following year. I bought it to read on the flight back to Chicago—and loved it. I promptly acquired his earlier novels (Angels Flight was his eighth), starting with the first one, The Black Echo, published in 1992, and I’ve read (and reread) all of the books that have appeared since then. I’m sure a lot of other readers would say the same thing.
