Based on Michael Connelly's best-selling series, Bosch features a LAPD homicide detective, Harry Bosch, who's investigating the murder of a 13-year-old boy, while  also on trial for allegedly murdering a suspected serial killer. Titus Welliver stars as the title character. Connelly and Treme's Eric Overmyer wrote the pilot, which Jim McKay (Miracle) directed.
