In this book Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch work together to try to prevent a child-killer from being set free. As always, Mr. Connelly has some surprises and it’s well written.
Couldn’t put it down. Great characters and storyline.

Love the Lincoln Lawyer Series!
Good suspense. I always like it when a story twists away from the direction I expect it to go.

Another outstanding book from the brilliant Michael Connelly.
