Description
In this bestselling thriller, after DNA evidence frees a sadistic killer, defense attorney Mickey Haller and LAPD Detective Harry Bosch must put him behind bars before he strikes again. Inspiration for the #1 Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer.
Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After twenty-four years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.
Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.
With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.
Reviews
Great compilation
4By anthonydaleThis so far was one of my most enjoyable books by Michael Connelly. I really enjoyed how they brought Harry Bosch into the book to work alongside him. I hope they do more of the two of them together.Women are not that difficult
1By Ace ManifoldI stopped reading it when Bosch was having problems with his daughter. Connelly himself seems to have a problem with women. I suppose this is intended to add depth, but I just get annoyed.Michael connelly
5By Bibi Cakes1Excellent bookGreat book
5By Baw9451As always, Connolly reaches out and grabs you by the shirt collar and refuses to let go until the very end.Now my favorite Haller & Bosch book
5By Grunt11bThis book has been so much fun. About half way through it was hard to put down.Vintage Connelly
4By LeeArlingtonA taut thriller with a lukewarm ending that left me “up in the air”I love Connelly’s books, but not this one
2By JLeavesley29It was confusing, and difficult to hold my interest. I will pay more attention to the ratings from now on. I just assumed all his books were great.Ending
3By O'SeayInteresting characters, good plot, moves along nicely, keeps your interest. However, it ends a bit abruptly and leaves a lot of unanswered questions. What happened to Sarah? What was Jesse’s motive? Was he a serial killer? Were there other bodies? Etc.Ballet and Bosch
5By TrishinthewoodsFace paced courtroom drama with Bosch in charge of the investigation.The Reversal
4By aib14Very enjoyableThe Reversal
5By YellerheadGreat book, could not put it down. Would highly recommend this book for anyone's reading pleasure.Ending Sucked
3By fjcan2I really enjoyed this story. I have nothing but superlatives about the story, the characters and the writing style. Then I came to the end. Either Michael Conley doesn't know how to wrap up a story or he's trying to sell another book, but I hated the way he closed the book. I will not read another of his books if this is his style. It's very frustrating to invest time to this read then being dropped! It's like having good sex without a climax!Great
4By PhxryanWas a strong showing for Connelly. Love Haller and Bosch characters. Worth it!Nice read
4By RilopQuick grab from the beginning, nice and entertaining.Justice...?
4By 911popA good look at what our court system is all about. Not always a pretty sight.O M G
5By GregmoutonThis book kept me on the edge of my seat I have ready every one of the Lincoln lawyer books this is a must read and a change of venue that has you begging for more !!!!!!The Reversal
5By songstermanMichael Connelly is excellent as always. He is by far the most entertaining detective crime novelist of our time. I love that Harry Bosch is back here, I miss his presence having read all of his books in sequential order.Great read until the end!
2By KarenAraceThis was a great read until the end. I felt like it just stopped midway through the story without any real conclusion. Can't recommend it for that reason. I've read many other books of his, but this one leaves you wanting more-but not in a good way.....Awesome
5By ChantdizzleAwesome as always
