Description
Superb crime writing from a master - Stephen Loosley, The Australian
In The Lincoln Lawyer, Michael Connelly introduces us to Mickey Haller, a defence attorney who operates from the back of his Lincoln Town Car, travelling between courthouses in Los Angeles. Haller is known for defending a broad spectrum of clients, some of whom are just scraping by while others are predators with deep pockets. He has always believed that the law is not about truth, but negotiation and manipulation.
One day, Haller lands the case of a lifetime: the defense of a high-profile Beverly Hills playboy accused of attempted murder. It seems like the kind of case that could make his career. But as he investigates the circumstances, he finds himself enmeshed in a conspiracy surrounding his client, leading him to wonder if repelling one client means sacrificing another.
Michael Connelly packs this compelling legal thriller with sharp dialogue, rich characters, and intricate plotting, making The Lincoln Lawyer an essential read for fans of the genre.
