“Back when I was riding patrol you know that they called a killing that came down to simple street justice?”
“What?”
“The brass verdict”
Mickey Haller, of The Lincoln Lawyer, is back in the attorney’s saddle again. He is , however, still running his law office out of his fleet of Lincolns. When high-powered attorney Jerry Vincent is murdered, Mickey inherits all of his cases. The most prominent case involves defending Walter Elliot, a movie mogul who is accused of killing his wife and her lover. Early on, Mickey suspects the information he is given is not to be trusted. “Everybody lies”…he tells himself. As he begins his own investigation, he finds himself forced to team up with the legendary Harry Bosch. Like oil and water, they overcome their differences and together they work to unravel the puzzle before them. Along the way, they make some interesting and life-changing discoveries. Connelly’s latest proves him to be a master at his craft.
