The Lincoln Lawyer
(MICHAEL CONNELLY)
Michael
Connelly is one of the best fiction writers in the business, hands down. He
retains the title again with The Lincoln Lawyer. Connelly takes a break
from his Harry Bosch cop series to explore the other side of the legal fence.
Criminal
defense attorney Mickey Haller just landed a franchise client and an
astronomical payday. Louis Roulet is a high-end real-estate agent accused of
attempted murder. Haller, son of well-known legal legend, performs his job well
by poking holes in the prosecution?s case every step of the way.
The story
gets more complex when Mickey finds trouble with the victim?s story, his
client?s case, and in his personal life as well. Connelly, being the
exceptional writer he is, blends the developments nicely to create a fantastic
legal thriller that?s impossible to put down.
Haller, as The
Lincoln Lawyer (named for the car in which is conducts most of his
business), is realistically flawed, repulsive and likable at the same time.
Connelly successfully tells the tale from a Criminal defense lawyer?s point of
view.
This review
is intentionally empty of plot description and full of praise, in order to
maximize enjoyment of the book. The Lincoln Lawyer is a superb legal
thriller that shouldn?t be missed.
