About this listen

 Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch together take on a seemingly unwinnable case in blistering legal thriller from Number One bestseller Michael Connelly.

When defence lawyer Mickey Haller is invited by the Los Angeles County District Attorney to prosecute a case for him, he knows something strange is going on. Mickey's one of the best American legal brains in the business, and to switch sides likes this would be akin to asking a fox to guard the hen-house. But the high-profile case of Jason Jessup, a convicted child killer who spent almost 25 years on death row before DNA evidence freed him, is an intriguing one . . .

Eager for the publicity and drawn to the challenge, Mickey takes the case, with LAPD Detective Harry Bosch on board as his lead investigator. But as a new trial date is set, it starts to look like he's been set up. Mickey and Harry are going to have to dig deep into the past and find the truth about what really happened to the victim all those years ago in this nail-biting courtroom drama.

Critic reviews

[This] Scott Turow-style court drama, starring both of Connelly's favourite characters, is as exciting as anything this formidable writer has ever produced
This is vastly superior stuff, from America's greatest living crime writer
This novel is further proof that this writer is on a roll. ... Connelly's background as a police reporter gives his books the powerful verisimilitude that few possess and balancing the police and legal shenanigans makes for wonderfully involving reading
Connelly masterfully manages to marry an absorbing courtroom drama with a tense and exciting thriller of detection
The novel has a gripping clarity from the off, and very quickly establishes a gripping momentum. ... it's another expertly handled tale from a born storyteller that blazes into an incendiary denouement

If you like courtroom dramas then it doesn't get better than this! I love Michael Connelly. I love Mickey Haller. I love the narrator - Mickey Haller's voice is the best! Listened to it over 2 days. I want more!

Great book

True Connelly story line and really enjoyed the narration and the way the story developed. The end was a bit "over before you know it" and thought it could have been a bit better but as always I really enjoyed it and will be looking out and purchasing the next Connelly book when available

Bosch Haller and Connelly what a mix

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Deftly and expertly written as usual, this still doesn't quite have the hard-bitten drive of a straight Harry Bosch story as Michael Connelly tries to flesh out the developing personality of his current second string, Mickey Haller. There's a lot of courtroom action, and the pace is good, but I guess I'm a dyed in the wool Bosch fan, so wanted more of him and less of Mickey.

Not Enough Bosch

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Solid story but ending was a bit flat. All finished quite suddenly. Good story though and a good listen

Bit anticlimactic but a good listen

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I went back and listened again maybe 18 months later and it was still good

Excellent
