Defence lawyer Mickey Haller has had some problems but now he's put all that behind him and is ready to resume his career. Then another lawyer, Vincent, dies, and Haller gets an unexpected windfall: he inherits all Vincent's clients - putting his stalled career back on track at a stroke. Not only that, but Vincent had taken on a high profile and potentially lucrative murder case. It'll be a trial that promises big fees and an even bigger place in the media spotlight - and if Mickey can win against the odds, he'll really be back in the big leagues. The only problem is the detective handling the case - a certain Harry Bosch - is convinced the killer must be one of Vincent's clients. Suddenly Mickey is faced with the biggest challenge of his career: how to defend a client successfully who might just be planning to murder him.

Micky Haller, strafpleiter uit Los Angeles ('De Lincoln-advocaat' en 'Het laatste oordeel'), treedt dit keer op als openbare aanklager. Een hele ommekeer, tot nu toe heeft hij altijd aan de kant van de verdediging gestaan. Het gaat om de 24 jaar geleden voor een kindermoord veroordeelde Jessup die via de resultaten van recent DNA-onderzoek probeert zijn onschuld te bewijzen. Haller neemt de opdracht aan op voorwaarde dat zijn ex-vrouw hem mag assisteren en zijn halfbroer rechercheur Harry Bosch (hoofdpersoon in veel van Connelly’s misdaadverhalen) het nodige onderzoek doet. Het is een moeilijke zaak waarin ze de media en het bewijsmateriaal tegen hebben, maar het trio is ervan overtuigd dat Jessup schuldig is en als hij vrijkomt nieuwe moorden zal plegen. Een goed geschreven, spannende, uitstekende legal thriller van een van de topauteurs in het misdaadgenre met een intrigerende plot en veel aandacht voor de karakterontwikkeling en privélevens van zijn hoofdpersonen, o.a. de verhouding tussen Harry Bosch en zijn tienerdochter Maddie. Vijf sterren in de VN-Detective & Thrillergids. Biblion Redactie

The 'Lincoln Lawyer' grapples with a haunting case in a gripping thriller from bestselling author Michael Connelly. Mickey Haller gets the text 'Call me ASAP - 187', and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention. Suddenly, Mickey's not just trying to get his client off a murder charge, but there is a more personal connection: the victim was Gloria Dayton - his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow. Far from saving her, Haller may have been her downfall. Haunted by the ghosts of his own past, and with his own guilt or redemption on the line, he desperately needs to find out who Gloria really was and who, ultimately, was responsible for her death.
Heading home after winning his latest case, defense attorney Mickey Haller - The Lincoln Lawyer - is pulled over by the police. They open the trunk of his car to find the body of a former client. Haller knows the law inside out. He will be charged with murder. He will have to build his case from behind bars. And the trial will be the trial of his life. Because Mickey Haller will defend himself in court. With watertight evidence stacked against him, Haller will need every trick in the book to prove he was framed. But a not-guilty verdict isn't enough. In order to truly walk free, Haller knows he must find the real killer - that is the law of innocence...
