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. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal - this time to save his own life.. This #1 bestselling legal thriller from Michael Connelly is a stunning display of novelistic mastery - as human, as gripping, and as whiplash-surprising as any novel yet from the writer Publishers Weekly has called "today's Dostoevsky of crime literature."Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind.

At first I thought, there's no way that Connelly can ma. "A great story with intriguing characters" according to Erie reader. 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 con. "A different kind of courtroom drama with a different kind of lawyer." according to WiltDurkey. 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,
