Publisher's Summary

INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES THE LINCOLN LAWYER—COMING SOON TO NETFLIX

Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller is back on the job in this heart-stopping thriller from a renowned #1 New York Times bestselling author.

“One of the finest legal thrillers of the last decade” —Associated Press

On the night he celebrates a big win, defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a former client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Haller is immediately charged with murder but can’t post the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge.

Mickey elects to represent himself and is forced to mount his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles. All the while he needs to look over his shoulder—as an officer of the court he is an instant target, and he makes few friends when he reveals a corruption plot within the jail.

But the bigger plot is the one against him. Haller knows he’s been framed, whether by a new enemy or an old one. As his trusted team, including his half-brother, Harry Bosch, investigates, Haller must use all his skills in the courtroom to counter the damning evidence against him.

Even if he can obtain a not-guilty verdict, Mickey understands that it won’t be enough. In order to be truly exonerated, he must find out who really committed the murder and why. That is the law of innocence.

In his highest stakes case yet, the Lincoln Lawyer fights for his life and proves again why he is “a worthy colleague of Atticus Finch . . . in the front of the pack in the legal thriller game” (Los Angeles Times).

Enjoy the reading of this book.

Great reading, good narrator. I am accustomed to reading Bosh books, so his absence was noticeable. I would recommend the book to those who follow Michael Connelly's writing.

Another mind-blowing story

Again, the author has managed to surprise me, with an unexpected scenario, casted in our current times. I love how we can see the main cast still present (I wish Cisco had more work! I love him), how they have grown. The author masterfully brings in actual topics such as the malconducts of the judicial system, or arbitrary police arrests. The book will keep you on edge!

excellent book....LOVE Mickey Haller!!

the narrator is at times overly dramatic, and I found him annoying to start, but he actually did a pretty good job of making the characters sound different from each other.....with the exception of the women....they sounded breathless, hesitant and "fluffy". Mind you, his "interpretation" of the judge was excellent! the story was so well written that it overcame any annoyance I had initially with the narrator!

Great Read

This was a great read and an interesting tall. I have read most of these books, by this author, however this is the first book that made remarks about the political situation in the United States. This I did not feel this should be in this book by this author. Very unprofessional.
