Description
INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES THE LINCOLN LAWYER – COMING SOON TO NETFLIX
Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller is back on the job in this heart-stopping thriller from a renowned #1 New York Times bestselling author.
“One of the finest legal thrillers of the last decade” —Associated Press
On the night he celebrates a big win, defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a former client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Haller is immediately charged with murder but can’t post the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge.
Mickey elects to represent himself and is forced to mount his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles. All the while he needs to look over his shoulder—as an officer of the court he is an instant target, and he makes few friends when he reveals a corruption plot within the jail.
But the bigger plot is the one against him. Haller knows he’s been framed, whether by a new enemy or an old one. As his trusted team, including his half-brother, Harry Bosch, investigates, Haller must use all his skills in the courtroom to counter the damning evidence against him.
Even if he can obtain a not-guilty verdict, Mickey understands that it won’t be enough. In order to be truly exonerated, he must find out who really committed the murder and why. That is the law of innocence.
In his highest stakes case yet, the Lincoln Lawyer fights for his life and proves again why he is “a worthy colleague of Atticus Finch . . . in the front of the pack in the legal thriller game” (Los Angeles Times).

Can I get a refund?
2By Resident BurdenToo bad your hate for President Trump ruined your creative work. I wish there was a way to get a refund on all your books that I have purchased.Lincoln Lawyer
4By Agilty GuyVery good read.Well done!
5By CurvedocAnother page-turner from a master storyteller!Great read!!!
4By anthonydaleAnother great book by Michael Connolly. I like reading about Mickie and Bosch working together and look forward to more stories of them together. Maybe in the series we’ll get to see Bosch introduced.Hopefully the TV show
3By stone crapWill make the court case ending a little more interesting. This was just a flat out lazy way to wrap up the trial. Suddenly they drop the charges but really no adjudication. Here Im hoping for a bombshell legal move a la something out of a Scott Turow book and I got a dud.The Law of Innocense
5By Plano skywatcherGood read, good writer! Interesting throughout! Author’s politics very suspect! He proves that even intelligent people like him, are attracted by political criminals like the BIDEN TRIBE! Sad!Great All Around.
5By pgarzaimagesGreat story . Great plot & Great Ending .Great book
5By Garandaddy LawyerThe best of an excellent seriesGripping from beginning to end
5By Mack ee…And a satisfying end to boot! Great job of bringing together characters from earlier books in a natural and very believable fashion. It’s a great stand-alone book, but readers of the earlier books in the series will have their memories tapped. The only knock on this excellent entry in the series is the suspension of disbelief required by the fact that gun shot residue is never even mentioned. Maybe he should have been at a range a couple days before the murder, but as it stands no GSR would’ve gone a long way to exonerating him, and that’s why it was never brought up. Still gets the rare five star from me for the great writing - plot, characters, development, suspense, great book!!!The Law of Innocence
5By SCB234Enjoyed reading. Held my attention.Excellent!
5By Armando RabagoA must read. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down.Boring and politically motivated
1By KnoxhopA boring and rambling novel. Couldn’t finish it. Politically slanted toward the liberal bias.Great
5By sipsey wildernessLove the Lincoln lawyers books fantastic!Great read
5By Dixie RicksThis one kept me on my toes. Enjoyed the book.Another Haller Classic
5By DahneeirlLoved every minute of this book, took me through all the emotions all the way to the very end. Connelly has done it again. Thank you!Not much
3By SisaacksOK pretty good mildly entertaining it might’ve been better if he could’ve just resisted that political rant in the middle of everything- I get enough of that on TVFan gone
1By LLfangoneI was excited to hear that there was a new book in 2020. I couldn’t believe I missed it, but then again, it was 2020. However, after reading reviews, I have decided not to purchase. Many of the reviews say that Connelly intertwines his political views into the storyline. I don’t care what side of the fence you’re on, keep it out of the entertainment. We want to read a story, not hear opinions or read insults to others. You lost a fan MC.Gratuitous
4By O'SeayThe story was pretty good and I am a LL fan. However, the gratuitous references to Trump and Trump supporters were unnecessary and took away from the story. Also, does no one go to church or have any morals?Captivating
5By !twoshoes2Well written, fast paced story. Turns and twists to the plot. Enjoyable read.
