Michael Connelly‘s new book (2020) is his best — so far — of the 6 featuring attorney Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer.

I’ve never been much of a courtroom drama fan. But this story is excellent.

And well told.

it’s topical, as well, set just at the start of pandemic in 2020.

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. …

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.
