one other thing about Harry Bosch's name: he was deliberately
named after the Dutch painter by his prostitute mother, who
kept the identity of his father secret from him. when he
returned from his stint in Vietnam, Bosch discovered that his
father was a prominent L.A. attorney named J. Michael Haller,
who used to represent his mother. the younger Bosch visited
his father on the man's death bed and discovered that he has
half-siblings. the illegitimate son of a prostitute, Bosch
has kept his distance from the family his entire adult
life
