DESCRIPTION:
"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 . 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 . A different kind of courtroom drama with a different kind of lawyer. 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 gu
A year later he was cast, so I was happy from the start. As each was announced, I became more and more excited. When I heard he was aboard, it was a great day. There is a scene where Mickey drops his sleeping daughter off at his ex-wife's home. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. Same with all the rest. I loved what I was seeing on both sides of the camera: a lot of dedication to the project. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. The story is about a cool, calm man being put into a desperate situation. Then when it comes to dialogue and action he delivers flawlessly. Bryan Cranston happens to be the star of my favorite show, Breaking Bad. I think my biggest contribution outside of writing the book was giving my trust to Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi, the producers. This #1 bestselling legal thriller from Michael Connelly is a stunning displa
Connelly tellingly delineates the code of legal ethics Mickey lives by: "It didn't matterwhether the defendant 'did it' or not. There's not an excess sentence or padded paragraph in it--what there is, happily, is a character who, like Harry Bosch, deserves a franchise series of his own. While Mickey's courtroom pyrotechnics dazzle, his behind-the-scenes machinations and manipulations are even more incendiary in this taut, gripping novel, which showcases all of Connelly's literary gifts. My job was to bury the proof, to color the proof a shade of gray. But Dad also passed on an important piece of advice that's especially relevant when Mickey takes the case of a wealthy Los Angeles realtor accused of attempted murder:"The scariest client a lawyer will ever have is an innocent client. But as the holes in Roulet's story tear Mickey's theory of the case to shreds, his thoughts turn more to Jesus Menendez, a former client convicted of a similar crime who's now languishing in San Quentin. Gray was the color of reasonable doubt." But by the time his client goes to trial, Mickey's feeling a few very reasonable doubts of his own. Best-sellin
