By the end of the book, Haller ultimately deduces that Bosch is his half-brother.
The scene avoids any references toThe Lincoln Lawyeror Mickey Haller booksby not mentioning the Hallers' names.
However, Bosch’s biological father is a lawyer, just like Mickey Haller Sr. in the novels.

McConaughey portrayed the role of Mickey Haller Jr. inthe 2011 theatrical adaptation of Connelly’sThe Lincoln Lawyer.
Season 4 will see Mickey Haller fight an intense legal battle.
For example,Bosch: LegacySeason 2 is based on the 2015 novel,The Crossing.
That makes apotential television crossover between the two popular franchises virtually impossible.
AsThe Lincoln Lawyerco-showrunnerDailyn Rodriguezexplained toTV Insider, “We can’t really use that character [Harry Bosch].
They can’t use [Mickey].
So we try and figure out ways to do those storylines with other characters.”
I guess youd never say never, but at the moment it would seem impossible, yes."
Bosch: LegacySeason 3 debutsMarch 2025 on Prime Video.
