INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX SERIES ‘THE LINCOLN LAWYER’ – THE HOTTEST NEW THRILLER DRAMA ON TV

Defense attorney Mickey Haller – a.k.a The Lincoln Lawyer – has been down on his luck but has a shot at the big-time.

When another lawyer is killed, Mickey inherits his entire practice, including an incredibly high-profile murder trial.

It promises big money – and an even bigger spotlight – as he must defend a Hollywood studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover.

But the detective working the case, Harry Bosch, has his own plan to catch the killer – and suspects that Mickey Haller might be the next victim…

Reviews

Mickey's back in this equally accomplished sequel ... the interplay between Haller and Bosch is as sparky as one could wish for ... So who will [Connelly] feature in his next book: Haller or Bosch? Or both? Who cares if the writing is as energetic as it is here
DAILY EXPRESS
Connelly ratchets up the tension and delivers twist-filled coutroom scenes.
Simon Shaw, MAIL ON SUNDAY
A courtroom drama with only one verdict: Connelly + Bosch + Haller = genius
DAILY RECORD
the real thrill of this compulsive procedural will be seeing the author's two greatest characters united for the first time
TIMES
A riveting ride through the LA courthouse system
TIME OUT
One of Connelly's best ever books, this is an excellently plotted courtroom drama combined with a tense thriller
MORNING STAR
A superb legal thriller that manages three final twists ...The labyrinthine workings of LA law, bribery and the machinations of the FBI all play a part in a scenario that soon has Mickey in fear of his life. The first line of THE BRASS VERDICT is 'everybody lies', so there are plenty of surprises. And, of course, as a writer of fiction, Connelly proves to be a brilliant liar
