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
Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write - and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

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).

What the critics say
“The so-called Lincoln Lawyer... turns in another dazzling courtroom performance."—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
“If you’re not already addicted to Mickey, his ex-wives and his brilliant half brother, investigator Harry Bosch, this perfectly constructed legal thriller will get you there.”—People (Book of the Week)
“One of the finest legal thrillers of the last decade… Connelly’s novels have long been distinguished by his mastery of the complexities of the justice system including an ability to get police and courtroom procedures exactly right.”—Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press

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 story
Holds your interest from start to finish. Teaches you how the court and juries are run. How the justice system functions. The manipulations the lawyers use can be scary. The suspense is ongoing through the whole story. The narrator Peter Giles is superb. Will listen to it again in the future.

She said, he said, she said - ruins the story
I love the Michael Connelly books - have been listening to the Bosch and Haller series - about 10 books so far between the 2. I almost stopped listening to this one - and this is the first time for the Connelly Audible books. Please do a better job of narration - leave out the constant “she said, he said” when reading the dialogue. For some reason, this book seems to be more filled with these phrases. You end up focusing on those annoying words and they ruin the story.

Brilliant once again!
I’m once again stoked by Giles rendition of the Mickey Haller saga. The novel by Connelly is great, with twists and turns, the involvement of the core cast and once again a Bosch-Haller collaboration, which to me creates the best novels.
I particularly like how Connelly is taking us back to players of the past novels, this time with Lisa Trammel, just like the last opus (The Gods of Guilt) dealt with the players involved in The Lincoln Lawyer.
I really like and recommend Mr Connelly’s novels!

Weird choice for voices
I love all of Connellys books and the actor who plays Bosch is perfect in the tv show and in his readings. Peter Giles just felt more like the dramatic movie trailer narrator with the deep gruff voice. Was still a good story

Mickey is back
The Law of Innocence is book number 7 in the Lincoln Lawyer series of courtroom mysteries by the #1 New York Times Best-Selling and Award-Winning author Michael Connelly. I am a huge Connelly fan, as you may remember, and I was thrilled endlessly by this latest novel. With his most recent books featuring Harry Bosch and earlier this year Jack McAvoy, it was quite the time to check in on Mickey.
Well, he is not doing that great. Our favorite defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by an LAPD officer for what at first seems to be a routine traffic stop, but, when blood starts to drip from the Linconln's trunk, things are getting ugly fast and he finds himself in jail. To clear his name, Mickey must defend his own person, playing double roles, as the defendant and council.
A question still stands, we all know that Mickey is a great lawyer and a decent father, but, is he also a cold-blooded murderer?
After his excellent performance of Fair Warning, talented actor, narrator and voice-over artist Peter Giles steps back into Mickey's shoes and delivers another strong narrative experience for the listener. He infuses the story with urgency and intensity, he reads, he acts, he is 100% involved and fights for his life, just like Mickey does.
The Law of Innocence is another eloquent example for why Michael Connelly is one of the most respected and loved authors out there. With the stakes set so high right from the beginning, we are left almost breathless for the rest of the story, rooting for Mickey and trying to understand how he got himself in this particular situation.

A little disappointed
I really enjoyed this book but did not like the political references. The Bosch and Heller series are my favorite. I listen to books to get away from all the political opinions that are everywhere. I want to be entertained not persuaded in a political view.

Great book reviewed by too many whiners.
Why are there so many one star reviews because of the political views of the (fictional) main character! It’s unbelievable! This was a great book with a wonderful narrator.
I actually liked that the book included present-day real-world details. This is the first work of fiction, in any medium, that talks about what the beginning of 2020 was really like.
Factual events mentioned in the book didn’t take me out of the story, it made it more authentic.
For all the people denouncing the author for including anti-Trump sentiments:
Have you read the other Mickey Haller books? Are you completely unaware that he is a criminal DEFENSE lawyer? What in the world did you expect?
Why is Michael Connelly suddenly not allowed to write his characters with political views that are completely in line with their established personalities? Because you don’t agree with them? Jeez! Grow up.
I can’t imagine that all his liberal readers would start giving bad reviews if a Harry Bosch novel included a discussion about loving Reagan or Bush. (I would have made the presidential parallel using Trump, but Harry Bosch is too empathetic, moral, and human for that comparison to make sense)

Please don't ruin a good thing
I love Michael Connelly to the point I would give him a 5 star on anything he writes up to and including his grocery list but.... Please don't let your hatred for the current administration ruin a good thing. The story was strong and I feel would have held up much better without the political undertones and unnecessary jabs.

Dismissed for Bias
My only negative reaction to a Connelly novel. Avoid putting a “Trumper” on the jury? Was that character or writer bias? One or both have been drinking the California Kool Aid. What a turn-off.

The usual cop hating bs that Micheal Connell has become known for!
Loved Lincoln Lawyer movie and Bosch series on Prime. I’m a retired police officer and worked as a detective for a time. However, the more Connelly books I read or listen to, the more I realize he’s just another one that thinks all cops are crooked, the justice system is unfair and everyone’s not guilty. He even managed to throw in some clearly unnecessary jabs at President Trump and Fox News that had nothing to do with the story. At least I know now where Connelly gets his delusions about law enforcement and our justice system.

Insulting to the 73 Million Trump voters.
Really Michael, leave your leftist politics out of the story. You could have easily written that without slamming half the country who supports President Trump. Overall a good book. But probably the last time I contribute to Connelly’s coffers. In fact I returned this one hoping that MC does not get one plug nickel from me!
