Summary

The most important case of his life.

Only this time the defendant is himself.

The law of innocence is unwritten. It will not be found in a leather-bound code book. It will never be argued in a courtroom. In nature, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In the law of innocence, for every man not guilty of a crime there is a man out there who is. And to prove true innocence the guilty man must be found and exposed to the world.

Heading home after winning his latest case, Defence Attorney Mickey Haller - the Lincoln Lawyer - is pulled over by the police. They open the trunk of his car to find the body of a former client.

Haller knows the law inside out. He will be charged with murder. He will have to build his case from behind bars. And the trial will be the trial of his life.

Because Mickey Haller will defend himself in court.

With watertight evidence stacked against him, Haller will need every trick in the book to prove he was framed.

But a not-guilty verdict isn't enough. In order to truly walk free, Haller knows he must find the real killer - that is the law of innocence....

Crime doesn't come better than Connelly.

Never fails to please

As a confirmed fan of the authors work I was certain that I would enjoy this book. And I did.
I doubt that I am alone in wanting to know what happened next.

Yet another brilliant book from Michael Connelly.

This was a story that kept me on tenterhooks until the end.
The plot was subtle and handled so very well.
Details of the workings in a US court are, as always, fascinating.

great story - kept me interested

All Connelly books are entertaining and this one no exception. only slight frustration were the loose ends not tied up. How did they kill the guy in the trunk in his garage and what happened to his live in girlfriend who wasn't mentioned at all as trial ended and his wife moved in! Not like Connelly - he normally nicely ties up all.the story threads

Could not put down

Needed to know what happens next. Super story. Great narration. Provides good insight into how much thought needs to go into preparing for a case.

One of Connelly's best

Connelly is a superb writer - knowledgeable about the law and law enforcement, writes with conviction, great long term character development over multiple books - but in my opinion, this is one of his best. Not the best, because the last couple of chapters and the epilogue didn't quite hit the high water mark of the rest of the book, for me. I can't explain why without including a spoiler so I'll leave it there, but as a whole it's a damned good read. It falls down by the narrowest of margins only because it's measured against the high standards set in previous Connelly novels; it's head and shoulders above the offerings of most contemporary rivals.
