Harry Bosch is at it again thanks to author Michael Connelly

So is Derek Strange, courtesy of author George Pelecanos and "What it Was"

"The Drop" by Michael Connelly has been out since December of 2011, and publication of the paperback version has been announced for June 2012. I can't wait that long and will head to the library.

I haven't yet started "What it Was" by George Pelecanos.

I love the way both of these authors use music in their novels. The music could hardly be more different, at least in most cases, but it adds a lot of atmosphere to the stories. How about you?

Great new detective stories

by masters Connelly, Pelecanos and Mosley

Don't miss any books by these authors! All are masters who transcend any genre.

Walter Mosley is remarkably versatile, having written a wide range of books that make me think of him as a virtuoso and a genius.

The Millenium Trilogy and cinematic treatments

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and two sequels

The runaway international bestsellers, Steig Larsson's fast-paced thrillers about crime, abuse and fascism in Sweden can be found individually or bundled as a set: Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy Bundle: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

The Swedish film of "Dragon Tattoo" is already available in the US, and it rightly has people worrying about what Hollywood will do with the same material. I doubt Hollywood will compete well against the original film. Although Noomi Rapace may not quite match the books' descriptions of Lisbeth Salander, her performance is outstanding and should be appreciated for its own sake.

Now, it is possible to pre-order the second and third films from Sweden, on DVD:
The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.

Note, these films are pretty violent, as are the books, and I wouldn't consider them suitable for anyone but adults. I don't find the violence to be gratuitous, but even in context, it can be disturbing. The late author's comments indicate that calling attention to violence against women was one of his goals.
