The moral complexity of defending someone you suspect is guilty — and the question of what the lawyer's duty really demands — gives Haller's character its psychological depth
What this book is about
The second Lincoln Lawyer novel follows Mickey Haller, who inherits the cases of his colleague Jerry Vincent after Vincent's murder. The most prominent case is the defense of Walter Elliot, a powerful Hollywood producer accused of killing his wife and her lover. Haller must also figure out who killed Vincent — and whether the answer is connected to Elliot's case. Connelly introduces the crossover with Harry Bosch in a satisfying thriller. Genre-appropriate violence and adult language throughout.
