Story
Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense pro who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, to defend clients at the bottom of the legal food chain. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients. But an investigator is murdered for getting too close to the truth and Haller quickly discovers that his search for innocence has taken him face to face with a kind of evil as pure as a flame.

Story
For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic. This one is personal...because the murdered man was a fellow Vietnam "tunnel rat" who had fought side by side with him in a hellish underground war. Now Bosch is about to relive the horror of Nam.

A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor.

Ballard is determined not to give up at dawn.

The phone messages waiting for Henry Pierce clearly aren't for him: "Where is Lilly? This is her number. It's on the site." Pierce has just moved into a new apartment, and he's been "chasing the dime" - doing all it takes so his company comes out first with a scientific breakthrough worth millions. But he can't get the messages for Lilly out of his head. As Pierce tries to help a woman he has never met, he steps into a world of escorts, websites, sex, and secret passions.

Publisher's Summary
The Brass Verdict: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*
Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent's killer may be coming for him next.
Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent's killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together.
*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.
What the critics say
"The Brass Verdict has the sneaky metabolism of any Connelly book. It starts slowly, moves calmly, hides pertinent bits of information in plain sight and then abruptly ratchets up its energy for the denouement....In the midst of this new story, Mickey rebounds with a vengeance....Like Harry Bosch's mojo, Mickey Haller's is liable to work well for a long time." (Janet Maslin, New York Times)
"The answer to every Connelly fan's dream: Hieronymus Bosch meets the Lincoln Lawyer....By turns wary, competitive, complementary, cooperative and mutually predatory....Connelly brings his two sleuths together in a way that honors them both" (Kirkus Reviews)
"A beautifully executed crime thriller... Bosch might have met his match in the wily Haller, and readers will delight in their sparring." (Publishers Weekly)

Quality issues
The book and narrator are amazing. However this “skipped” a ton for me. It was super glitchy and the music that would randomly played drove me absolutely nuts.

If you want to hear music, try iTunes
I am so very disappointed! I love Mr. Connelly's work. I am dumbfounded at the production decision to put music in the background, not just in the opening of the book, or maybe a short bit at the beginning of a chapter, but throughout the dialogue.
I lay responsibility mostly at the fault of the producer on this one, but I am stunned Mr. Connelly signed off on this decision. This is not television or a movie - it's an audio book.
I would suggest they re-release this project without the background music track and offer it free to those who in good faith pre-purchased this book.
We buy audio books for the reading. If we want music, we can provide that ourselves. I am a musician so music has a separate "story" for my ears.
This is so distracting I am having a very difficult time following the story. In the back of my mind I am thinking... Wondering... Did they finally stop playing the background music... Nope - there it is again. VERY hard to concentrate on the story. Ruins the work for me.

Shame on Audible
Ditto what first two reviewers, Tom from SC and John from CA, wrote. This is not a new book -- but a 2008 release with music added. Shame on Audible for not making that clear in the description. I already own this book on CD, already have listened to it! Not that I mind listening to a book more than once, but the added music is very annoying. Music was simply a distraction. I feel cheated by Audible.

Audible WTH
Great book, great performance (sans the music) but really Audible you announce this as "new". Take the original from 2008, add a bunch of annoying music and call it new?
Getting my money back.
Check out the old version, because it is a great book.

A great story/performance wrecked by nonstop music
My wife and I are really enjoying this book and its great performance. But we can hardly keep listening because of the almost non-stop annoying "music" in the background. I couldn't believe it was intentional. Please NEVER do this again.

WTF music in background?
What’s with the music in the background? I didn’t like that at all and I didn’t think the narrator was very good. The story was so-so and not your typical Michael Connelly story. Maybe it’s just me, this is the first Michael Connelly story I haven’t liked. That elevator music has GOT to go.

Good stuff
I love how the author incorporated so many of his characters into this book. The narrator did well with inflection and flow of the story.
