Crossover Cover: The Late Show

 

L.A.P.D. detective Renée Ballard investigates deaths at a nightclub called the Dancers. Her former partner, Ken Chastain, was the son of a cop killed in the line of duty. After killing a criminal, Renée goes to Carmen Hinojos in the Behavioral Science Unit. The killer’s ex-wife, Beatrice Beaupre, has used the name “Shaquilla Shackles.” The Dancers club is from Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe novel The Long Goodbye. Ken Chastain’s father is John Chastain from Connelly’s Harry Bosch series. Carmen Hinojos is from the Bosch novels The Last Coyote and 9 Dragons. Shaquilla Shackles is mentioned in Connelly’s Mickey Haller novel The Lincoln Lawyer.

This crossover is one of hundreds covered in my book Crossovers Expanded: A Secret Chronology of the World Volume 3, which will be published by Meteor House! All three volumes are AUTHORIZED companions to Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World Volumes 1 and 2!

Crossover Cover: Lost Light

Harry Bosch sees Elvis Cole driving his yellow 1966 Corvette and salutes the P.I. Robert Crais’ detective Elvis Cole is not referred to by name, but his description is unmistakable. Prior to this book, Harry Bosch had an unnamed cameo in the Elvis Cole novel The Last Detective. Since Bosch is in the CU through Joe Gores' DKA novel Cons, Scams & Grifts, so is Cole.
