Jack McEvoy

John "Jack" McEvoy is a literary character created by Michael Connelly in the 1996 novel The Poet and starring again in the sequel the Scarecrow thirteen years later. In the interim, McEvoy appeared in one Harry Bosch novel – 2001's A Darkness More Than Night – and one Mickey Haller novel – 2008's The Brass Verdict. McEvoy starred again in Connelly's 2020 novel Fair Warning. Connelly describes his time writing about McEvoy as his "least favorable writing experience" because "he is easily the most autobiographical character I have ever written about".
