    SAMPLE EXCERPT:

    “What was the inspiration behind the creation of this book?”

    Connelly confessed that when he is at a loss on what to write about in a next book, he goes back to his earlier books to find stories there. In the instance of The Brass Verdict, he dug from his earlier books the idea of Harry having a brother he didn’t know. This led to the creation of Mickey Haller. From there, the interest to write about his two key characters grew. He thought it would be great to bring them together since they come from different sides of the equation of justice and he expected them to have interesting dialogue and interaction. Harry and Mickey are highly skilled manipulators and, indeed, at different parts of the book, readers are in a quandary about who really manipulates whom. So from just this, the idea is already paying off. (10)
    About the scenario, Connelly wishes that all the stuff he has written were all invented, but alas, he credits it to good reporting. The idea for the plot came from his police reporting days. The scenario that happened to Mickey Haller actually happened to one of his lawyer friends, so basically the plot was inspired by something true...

      The Brass Verdict - Behind the Story (A Book Companion) - Behind the Story™ Books

      Bibliography

      Foreword

      A personal note from the editor…

      What if…? was the question that gave birth to Behind the Story Books.

      When I pick up a book, from the first letter to the last, I am often completely enveloped in the novel - I’m laughing, rejoicing, fighting, and crying, side by side next to the characters. Even long after the book is finished, I found myself reminiscing about the scenes and characters over and over again in my head like a broken tape recorder – I was left high and very dry.

      One particularly pleasant evening, after closing the last page to a wonderful story, I just HAD to find out everything about the book - how it was created, how it was developed, who the author was, - everything.

      This sudden spurt of passion has led me to create and develop Behind the Story Books, to share with you - my fellow book lovers – a fan’s love for books. I hope you can see the love that went into the creation this book. Please enjoy this book and support Behind the Story Books. It is created for a fan, by a fan.

      So without further ado, I present to you…
