Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller is back in the heartstopping new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly. Defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Haller is charged with murder and can’t make the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge. Mickey elects to defend himself and … vindictive judge.
Mickey elects to defend himself and must strategize and build his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles, all the while looking over his shoulder–as an officer of the court he is an instant target.
Mickey knows he’s been framed. Now, with the help of his trusted team, he has to figure out who has plotted to destroy his life and why. Then he has to go before a judge and jury and prove his innocence.
In his highest stakes case yet, Mickey Haller fights for his life and shows why he is “a worthy colleague of Atticus Finch…in the front of the pack in the legal thriller game” (Los Angeles Times).

I have read all of Michael Connelly’s books. I think the main character, Haller, is an interesting and extremely good at what he does as a defense attorney. The only thing I did not like about this book is the wee bit of snark and the addition of a political point of view. If I want politics in my reading I will check out the news sites online. The comment was small but glaring in my view. Loved the story and the suspense.
Too political
Always excited to read Michael Connolly’s books. Thrilling plots with unexpected twists
Pedantic, boring . . .
I think how facts can be manipulated to make an innocent party appear to be guilty of a heinous crime.
MC is the best in his field.
I enjoy all of Connelly’s Bosch and Lincoln Lawyer books. I find them to be a lot of fun to read, this one did not disappoint. I took it on vacation with me and unfortunately finished it on the 2nd day, what is a girl to do? I just couldn’t put it down.
*5 Stars*
I don’t think Michael Connelly can do any wrong. Every time he brings a book that keeps me intrigued, and turning the pages to see how things will play out. He has me rooting for the characters and wanting to solve the mysteries.
This time we’re back with Mickey Haller, and I found this to be a really interesting look at things from the other side because Mickey is defending himself, charged with a murder he didn’t commit.
I enjoyed reading this one, as with all of this authors books, and enjoy seeing our familiar characters back, especially having Bosch in this too.
Can’t wait to see what Michael Connelly brings us next.
Loved it, by one of my favorite authors.
Loved this book gave it 5 stars
One of the best mystery writers!!
I am a great Fan of his
Maybe not his most original or best book (how many can you write anyhow?) but it has the usual twists where the protaganists go from total defeat to last minute victory.The entire plot is a little over reach on credability. But you will be entertained by the characters and the dialogue.
Great author
Up to the author’s usual high standard.
In the words of Tina Turner “simply the best”
Love Michael Connolly never miss his books
Love all his books. This was no exception.
Love all the Lincoln Lawyer books
