Only the money was real. Four years ago, LAPD detective Harry Bosch was on a movie set asking questions about the murder of a young production assistant when an armored car arrived with two million dollars cash for use in a heist scene. In a life-imitates-art firestorm, a gang of masked men converged on the delivery and robbed the armored car with guns blazing. Bosch got off a shot that struck one of the robbers as their van sped away, but the money was never recovered. And the young woman`s murder was in the stack of unsolved-case files Bosch carried home the night he left the LAPD.
Now Bosch moves full bore back into that case, determined to find justice for the young woman. Without a badge to open doors and strike fear into the guilty, he learns afresh how brutally indifferent the world can be. But something draws him on, past humiliation and harassment. It`s not just that the dead woman had no discernible link to the robbery. Nor is it his sympathy for the cops who took over the case, one of them killed on duty and the other paralyzed by a bullet in the same attack. With every conversation and every thread of evidence, Bosch senses a larger presence, an organization bigger than the movie studios and more ruthless than even the LAPD. The part of Bosch that will never back down finds as fatal an opponent as he`s ever encountered - and there`s no guarantee that Bosch will survive the showdown ahead.

Pošto je kao student otkrio romane Rejmonda Čendlera, Majkl Koneli je odlučio da postane pisac. Po diplomiranju, zaposlio se kao novinar kriminalističke rubrike u nekoliko listova Floride, beležeći uspehe u izveštavanju o tzv. kokainskom ratu ranih osamdesetih.
Godine 1986. je zajedno sa dvojicom kolega proveo nekoliko meseci intervjuišući preživele iz jedne velike avionske nesreće. Članak o tom događaju ulazi u najuži izbor za Pulicerovu nagradu, donevši svom autoru napredak u karijeri – Koneli je dobio posao kriminalističkog reportera u prestižnom Los Anđeles tajmsu, konačno došavši u grad u kom je živeo i pisao Čendler.
Posle tri godine rada u crnoj hronici, Koneli je počeo da piše prvi roman u serijalu o detektivu Hijeronimusu Hariju Bošu. Roman pod naslovom Crni odjek delimično je bio zasnovan na istinitom zločinu koji se desio 1992. u Los Anđelesu. Koneli za Crni odjek dobio je nagradu Edgar za najbolje debitantsko ostvarenje u žanru trilera. Sledila su još tri romana sa Bošom u glavnoj ulozi, da bi 1996. bio objavljen Pesnik, roman u kojoj je centralna ličnost novinski reporter. Krvavi posao Koneli objavljuje 1998. godine, triler delimično inspirisan stvarnim događajem: jedan Konelijev prijatelj imao je transplantaciju srca nakon koje je iskusio grižu savesti znajući da je neko umro kako bi on živeo. Po ovom romanu Klint Istvud je režirao istoimeni film u kom je igrao i glavnu ulogu.
Godina 1999. obeležava povratak serijalu o Hariju Bošu, romanom Let anđela, nakon čega slede Prazan mesec i Mrak crnji od noći, roman u kom se susreću dva Konelijeva lika – Boš i Makejleb iz Krvavog posla. Los Anđeles tajms je ovo ostvarenje proglasio jednom od najboljih knjiga 2001. godine. I sledeći roman, Grad kostiju, dobija priznanje Njujork tajmsa. Majkl Koneli živi sa porodicom na Floridi. Predsednik je Udruženja američkih pisaca misterija.
