The Lincoln Lawyer

The first legal thriller ever from #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Michael Connelly<br/>Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence--it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice.<br/>A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career.<br/>Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal--this time to save his own life.<br/>THE LINCOLN LAWYER is a stunning display of novelistic mastery--as human, as gripping, and as whiplash-surprising as any novel yet from the writer "Publishers Weekly" has called "today's Dostoyevsky of crime literature."
