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

One of Connelly's best ever books, this is an excellently plotted courtroom drama combined with a tense thriller
MORNING STAR
Connelly ratchets up the tension and delivers twist-filled coutroom scenes.
Simon Shaw, MAIL ON SUNDAY
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
EVENING STANDARD
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
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
