DESCRIPTION:
For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice.A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. This #1 bestselling legal thriller from Michael Connelly is a stunning disp
The story is about a cool, calm man being put into a desperate situation. I think my biggest contribution outside of writing the book was giving my trust to Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi, the producers. When I heard he was aboard, it was a great day. How does that feel?A: I am very fortunate to have this experience even once. They promised me six years ago that they would keep the gritty realism of the story – the-law-in-the-trenches aspect of it. That was the spark, and it went from there.Q: Are there any scenes in the film that you wish were in the book?A: There are definitely a few lines I wish were in the book. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. It was a long-running work in progress. He is a bit cynical and cocky. It is a defense attorney's dr
"Came from Bosch - love me some Lincoln Lawyer" according to Thomas B. Greenman. I started reading the Bosch series after watching the shows on Amazon and loving them. So I started reading the Bosch series and along the way, one of the Kindle versions had a bonus book that has Mickey Haller and Bosch together. At first I thought, there's no way that Connelly can make me interested in a lawyer. I'm not a fan of any of the law shows, never have, likely never will.

Erie reader said A great story with intriguing characters. I really enjoyed this legal thriller. The protagonist, Mickey Haller, is a likable rogue, skirting the edges of legal and ethical issues to do the Right Thing, when it really matters. But he's not too bothered by telling half-truths and manipulating the system when he must, or it's convenient. The story moves right along, right from the beginning, and keeps the reader immersed. It really is hard to put down; you have to see how this is going to turn out. Connelly has done a great job of making Mickey interesting in many ways--from the fact that he still is connected to both of his ex-wives, is quirky en. WiltDurkey said A different kind of courtroom drama with a different kind of lawyer.. Well written and kept my interest throughout.The main protagonist is not supposed to be a really likable person, although by the end of the book he is much less of a scumbag than he presents himself to be at the start. That bit, having a lawyer who represents the guilty, knowingly so, was a very novel twist to this story.The court procedural was also a lot more realistic, and intriguing, than the usual lawyerly capers found in crime novels. This is not Perry-Mason-solves-the-case lawyering. The protagonist does not magically act like a detective and identify the guilty. Instead, during the trial parts,
