I do believe that a Bosch film could work. Kurt Russell would be perfect in the main role. Throw in Clint Eastwood and a decant script andyou could be on to a winner.

Oh no, have to disagree with you there - Clint was already in a film from a Connelly book (Blood Work), and it was absolutely terrible. Couldn't see Kurt Russell as Bosch either.

Gimmick - are you thinking of "Angels Flight"? probably his best Bosch book IMO

My favorite crime writer has to be Kinky Friedman... if you haven't ready any of his stuff, I highly recommend it.
I also love Agatha Christie and PG Woodhouse
