Who Is Harry Bosch?
Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch was named after the 15th-century Dutch painter best known for his nightmarish depictions of the afterlife. First appearing in Connelly’s 1992 novelThe Black Echo, Bosch is the son of a sex worker who was murdered when Bosch was eleven. He went on to join the military, and served with distinction in the Special Forces before joining the Los Angeles Police Department. He once worked as a technical advisor for a successful TV series, which paid enough to finance a fabulous house in the Hollywood Hills. Bosch has a problem with authority and a tendency to follow his own instincts, which often puts him at odds with his superiors. He has one daughter,Maddie(portrayed on the series byMadison Lintz), who eventually followed in his footsteps by joining the LAPD herself; his ex-wife, FBI agent Eleanor Wish (Sarah Clarke) was killed in action inBosch’s fourth season.
Maggie Q will make her debut as Renée Ballard on the third season ofBosch: Legacy, as will new characters played byAndrea Cortés(Mayans M.C.),Tommy Martinez(Good Trouble),Orla Brady(Star Trek: Picard),Michael Reilly Burke(Griselda), andDale Dickey(A Love Song).
