American writer born on July 21, 1956 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Graduated in Journalism from the University of Florida in 1980, he worked in various media outlets in Fort Lauderdale and Daytona Beach.

After being nominated in 1986 for a Pulitzer for a series of interviews with survivors of the Delta Airlines Flight 191 crash, written in collaboration with two colleagues, he moved to California after accepting a job offer from the Los Angeles Times.

Connelly is a well-known author for his detective novels. Particularly popular is his character Heronymus "Harry" Bosch (named in homage to the Flemish painter Hieronymus Bosch), a Los Angeles police detective who appears in more than a dozen of his novels. The novel Blood Work (1998) was later adapted into a film directed and starred by Clint Eastwood.

Throughout his career, he has won well-known awards such as the RBA International Prize for Crime Writing.
