Story
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.

Great story that seamlessly and accurately traces back to other Lincoln Lawyer books bringing an extremely believable story. Mickey Haller faces his toughest challenge that ultimately he was fully responsible for.

Story
Pediatrician Kent Abner received the package on a beautiful April morning. Inside was a cheap trinket, a golden egg that could be opened into two halves. When he pried it apart, highly toxic airborne fumes entered his body - and killed him. After Eve Dallas calls the hazmat team - and undergoes testing to reassure both her and her husband that she hasn’t been exposed - it’s time to look into Dr. Abner’s past and relationships. Not every victim Eve encounters is an angel, but it seems that Abner came pretty close.

Story
Saul Indian Horse is in critical condition. Sitting feeble in an alcoholism treatment facility, he is told that sharing his story will help relieve his agony. Though skeptical, he embarks on a heartbreaking journey from the present - and into the woods of Northern Ontario, where his life began in a snowy Ojibway camp. The tale that follows is one of great pain and great determination from Richard Wagamese, an author who "never seems to waste a shot" ( New York Times).

This was a surprise to me, I was not sure when I started listening that I would like this book but in the end it was very a very enjoyable read. It certainly does portray a very sobering standard of living that Indigenous Canadians had/have to tolerate in our country.

Story
When Captain Kyle Mercer of the Army’s elite Delta Force disappeared from his post in Afghanistan, a video released by his Taliban captors made international headlines. But circumstances were murky: Did Mercer desert before he was captured? Then a second video sent to Mercer’s Army commanders leaves no doubt: The trained assassin and keeper of classified Army intelligence has disappeared.

You won't be a "Deserter" reading this book.

A very good read with an accurate portrayal of Venezuela. I did find that Scott Brodie is very much like John Corey but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Scott Brodie's constant "doing his own thing" mentality is a bit far fetched but overall I think this was a good listen. Scott Brick's reading is fantastic.

#Audible1 - Although this story is drawn out a bit it is well presented and thought out. There is a degree of realism in the story but I doubt the plausibility in the real world. Still a good listen and well worth the time. Looking forward to my next Rick Campbell book.
