He spends his time in California and Florida. Connelly is a former newspaper reporter who has won numerous awards for his journalism and his novels and is the executive producer of Bosch, starring Titus Welliver. His books, which include the Harry Bosch series and the Lincoln Lawyer series, have sold more than seventy-four million copies worldwide.
(This season is based largely on Connelly’s second Haller book, The Brass Verdict.)īut Mickey’s immediate attention goes to Jerry’s biggest case: the upcoming double murder trial of Trevor Elliott (Christopher Gorham), a billionaire video-game creator charged with killing his wife and her yoga teacher after catching them in the sack in their Malibu mansion.Michael Connelly is the author of thirty-one previous novels, including #1 New York Times bestsellers Two Kinds of Truth, The Late Show, and The Wrong Side of Goodbye. Who killed Jerry, and why, is one plot arc through the series’ 10 episodes. Jerry was a friend, but they weren’t close, so Mickey is mystified as to why Vincent signed a will giving Mickey the practice - and then, 10 days later, was murdered in his office building’s parking lot. He’s unsure where to turn until he finds out he’s just inherited the practice of another lawyer, Jerry Vincent.
He’s clean now, but his practice is in shambles. As the series begins, he’s trying to get back on his feet after a year in which he suffered serious injuries in a surfing accident and then got addicted to pain medication. Haller can be brooding when he’s not charming everyone in the room. Born in Mexico, he also more closely resembles the character in Connelly’s books - Haller’s mother was Mexican. One of Mickey’s trademark characteristics is charm, and Garcia-Rulfo has it to spare. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo takes over the role in the series, and he’s note-perfect. A 2011 movie based on the first Haller novel shares this series’ title, and many fans will remember Matthew McConaughey as Mickey in that film.
