Oviktigt (?)vetande om Harry Bosch

I dag fick jag Micheal Connellys senaste nyhetsbrev med anledningen av att The Reversal strax kommer att komma ut i handeln.

För att vi inte ska längta alltför mycket som kommer det varje dag att finnas roliga fakta om Harry Bosch och Mickey Haller på Connellys hemsida.
