Other novels written by Connelly belong to the same fictional universe of the Bosch series by virtue of character crossovers:

  • The Mickey Haller series itself is also connected because Bosch, Haller's half-brother, appeared first in The Brass Verdict and then in The Reversal, The Fifth Witness, and The Gods of Guilt. J. Michael Haller (Mickey and Harry's father) was mentioned in The Black Ice (as was Mickey, though his first name was not given then).

Expanded Universe

Novels written by other authors also belong to a shared fictional universe along with the Bosch series by virtue of appearances in crossover works:

Requiem, The Last Detective, The Forgotten Man, The Watchman, Chasing Darkness, The First Rule, The Sentry, Taken, and The Promise are connected through private investigator Elvis Cole's appearance in Lost Light (and the reciprocal appearance of Harry in Crais's novel The Last Detective).
  • Dennis Lehane's novels A Drink Before the War, Darkness, Take My Hand, Sacred, Gone, Baby, Gone, Prayers for Rains, and Moonlight Mile are connected through private investigator Patrick Kenzie's appearance in "Red Eye."
