Defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Haller is charged with murder and can't make the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge.
Mickey elects to defend himself and must strategize and build his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles, all the while looking over his shoulder--as an officer of the court he is an instant target.
Mickey knows he's been framed. Now, with the help of his trusted team, he has to figure out who has plotted to destroy his life and why. Then he has to go before a judge and jury and prove his innocence.
Connelly has always done good work and the results are reliable and predictable.
He had even found a way to iron out small quirks that kept irritating me such as lengthy descriptions of Los Angeles.
As usual I enjoyed this new book from him.
Superb. Best Connelly book in a while. I wanted it to last forever. LOVED IT.
