Crime Beat

A Decade of Covering Cops and Killers

De: Michael Connelly

Narrado por: Len Cariou, Nancy McKeon, Carl Franklyn

Before Michael Connelly became a novelist, he was a crime reporter, covering the detectives who worked the homicide beat. In these vivid, hard-hitting pieces, Connelly leads the reader past the yellow police tape as he follows the investigators, the victims, their families and friends--and of, course, the killers--to tell the real stories of murder and its aftermath.©2004 Michael Connelly; (P)2006 Time Warner AudioBooks.

Fascinating true crime snapshots in the Sin Cities

A very well written & performed menagerie of crime stories from the newspaper files of crime novelist Michael Connelly. He culls murder, burglary, fear, frustration, shock, and more from crimes he covered in his former life as a crime reporter in Florida then Los Angeles. Shows his writing talent was there from the start. Could be called Front Row To The Shit Show. Who killed the Queen fatter than her photos? Who killed the negotiator to the stars who ended up in his trunk? What kind of headcase commits 350 burglaries in 364 days? Great, understated narration brings the hard-boiled writing to life.

Wonderful
