Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, … time, he learns that Vincent’s killer may be coming for him next.
Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent’s killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together.
Bringing together Michael Connelly’s two most popular characters, The Brass Verdict is sure to be his biggest book yet.more
Actually, 4.5 stars — LOVED the final twist at the wrap-up.
As I read, I was envisioning Matthew McConaughey and Titus Welliver, however Bosch’s role and reactions seemed a little “mild” compared to what I am used to in the Bosch series. He’s generally a bulldozer.
After a year off from law, Mickey is ready to come back, but he gets more than he bargained for when a friend is killed and Mickey takes over his cases. One of those cases is a huge murder trial starting in just a week. Can Mickey handle this high profile case? Why was his predecessor murdered?
I really should have come back to this series …
Another great Michael Connelly book, up to par with what I’ve come to expect from one of my favorite authors.
There is no such thing as a bad Michael Connelly book.
Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch – you can’t ask for more.
