Small Island, Big Crime
Now we have a new cop in Connelly's crime-fiction world—Detective Sergeant Stilwell—introduced last year (without a first name) in his new Catalina series. Unlike Connelly's other ace investigators, Stilwell—or Stil for short—doesn't live in gritty Los Angeles or its environs. He runs the sheriff's station on Catalina Island, 22 miles off the coast of California.
