Michael Connelly is one of America's best mystery writers. His books have become instant classics and he is a frequent N.Y. Times Bestseller. We've done quite a number of projects for Mike and he relies on verdeo to bring a high level of creativity to his special projects beyond the scope of his publisher. MichaelConnelly.com

The Overlook
The latest project we've completed is an 8 minute video. We hired longtime friend Larry Moore to complete a series of well planned illustrations that encompassed certain scenes in Mike's book - The Overlook. We then combined the late Frank Morgan's lyrical saxophone with Len Cariou's voice over to create a moving storyboook montage of noir and mystery. The final version was burned to DVD and posted to you tube. The fans loved it and Mike and the publisher were stoked!

Chasing the Dime
Recently we worked on the promotional aspects of Chasing the Dime. This fast paced, high tech thriller combined multiple characters and plot twists that called for a new kind of book promotion. In response to Mike's request for something that was breakthrough in book marketing, we consulted with his promotions team to create a contest that involved a interactive flash mini-site contest and a chance to win themed signed posters from the author. verdeo provided all the concept, design, programming and production. The fans ate up the interactivity and were rewarded with edgy poster art. Chasing the Dime site
