best cop series novels

One of the best is 'The Harry Bosch Series' by Michael Connelly. Bosch is a complex and dedicated detective, and the novels are full of great police procedural details.

I'd recommend the 'Stephanie Plum' series by Janet Evanovich. It's light - hearted and easy to follow. Stephanie is a bounty hunter, which is related to the law enforcement world. The books are filled with humor and interesting characters.

One great 'cop beat cop' novel is 'The Wire' novelization. It gives a gritty and in - depth look at the world of police work, the relationships between cops, and the complex issues they face in the inner city. It shows the politics, the power struggles, and the day - to - day grind that cops experience.

I'd also suggest 'Gone Baby Gone' by Dennis Lehane. It's a relatively easy - to - read novel that focuses on the search for a missing child by private investigators who have connections to the police. The way the police characters interact, their different approaches and attitudes, is really interesting for those new to this type of story.

One of the best cop novels is 'The Silence of the Lambs' by Thomas Harris. It features the brilliant and complex character of Hannibal Lecter and the determined FBI agent Clarice Starling. Another great one is 'L.A. Confidential' by James Ellroy. It's set in a corrupt Los Angeles and shows the different cops with their own motives and secrets. And 'Gorky Park' by Martin Cruz Smith is also excellent, with a great mystery set in Russia.

The 'Inspector Rebus' series by Ian Rankin is set in Edinburgh. The main character, John Rebus, is a complex and flawed detective. These novels explore the darker side of the city as Rebus delves into different criminal cases, often with a lot of political and social undertones.

One great cop romance novel is 'The Protector' by Lori Foster. It has a strong, alpha male cop as the hero and a feisty heroine. Their relationship develops as they face danger together.

The following are the top 10 best police and bandit movies (in no particular order): Wild Beast, Hardcore Detective, Dragon and Tiger, Traversing Four Seas, Bloody Duo, Infernal Affairs, Killer Wolf, Face Changing, Dark Battle, and Police Story. These movies were all classic police and bandit films with high reviews and recommendations.

One of the best messing with cop stories I've heard was when a group of friends accidentally set off a car alarm near a police cruiser. Instead of panicking, they started doing a silly dance routine around the car as if it was part of the act. The cops were so amused that they just laughed and let them off with a warning.

As I mentioned before, Michael Connelly is well - known for his 'Harry Bosch' series. His detailed descriptions of police procedures and the gritty world of crime in Los Angeles make his books very engaging.
