In Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, Detective Griggs takes on Bosch's role as an investigator who is tied primarily to the police. In Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, the Bosch role is split up between two characters: LAPD Detective Griggs (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine), a character created for the show, and Haller's lead investigator Cisco (Angus Sampson), a character who does appear in the books but takes on some of the Bosch's plot points from the The Brass Verdict. In The Brass Verdict, Bosch plays a significant role in investigating the murder of defense attorney Jerry Vincent, from whom Mickey Haller inherits a thriving law practice after his murder. Mickey Haller doesn't appear in Amazon's Bosc h or its spinoff series, Bosch: Legacy, but the role of Bosch in the narrative of The Lincoln Lawyer as it adapts Michael Connelly's The Brass Verdict has been replaced with other characters in the series. In an interview (via AARP), Michael Connelly said of the possibility of a streaming crossover between Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer, 'Since we have competing studios, that’s not going to be a thing in the shows.' He added that he understands the issues and that 'if we got Amazon and Netflix working together, we could also solve world peace.' From Michael Connelly's comments, it's safe to assume that the possibility was raised at some point and ruled out. Because Amazon holds the rights to Bosch and Netflix to The Lincoln Lawyer, there won't be a crossover. The departure from the books appears to actually have less to do with narrative choice and much more to do with a rights issue. In the world of streaming, Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer are not related. However, Michael Connelly has addressed the question and definitively answered it in the negative.

It might seem extremely likely for Titus Welliver's Bosch to appear in Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer as season 1 will adapt The Brass Verdict, the second book in The Lincoln Lawyer series and the first book that Detective Hieronymous 'Harry' Bosch appears in.

The character of Mickey Haller was first introduced in 2005 in The Lincoln Lawyer, the first book in the series of the same name that was adapted into the 2011 movie of the same name starring Matthew McConaughey. The Bosch series debuted first in 1992 with The Black Echo and has made appearances in many more of Michael Connelly's works since then.
