Description

INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES THE LINCOLN LAWYER – THE #1 TV SHOW ON NETFLIX

The stakes have never been higher: when DNA evidence frees a sadistic killer, defense attorney Mickey Haller and LAPD Detective Harry Bosch must put him behind bars before he strikes again.   Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After twenty-four years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch.

Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.

With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.

    As always, Connolly reaches out and grabs you by the shirt collar and refuses to let go until the very end.

  • Now my favorite Haller & Bosch book

    This book has been so much fun. About half way through it was hard to put down.

  • Vintage Connelly

    A taut thriller with a lukewarm ending that left me “up in the air”

  • I love Connelly’s books, but not this one

    It was confusing, and difficult to hold my interest. I will pay more attention to the ratings from now on. I just assumed all his books were great.

  • Ending

    Interesting characters, good plot, moves along nicely, keeps your interest. However, it ends a bit abruptly and leaves a lot of unanswered questions. What happened to Sarah? What was Jesse’s motive? Was he a serial killer? Were there other bodies? Etc.

  • Ballet and Bosch

    I really enjoyed this story. I have nothing but superlatives about the story, the characters and the writing style. Then I came to the end. Either Michael Conley doesn't know how to wrap up a story or he's trying to sell another book, but I hated the way he closed the book. I will not read another of his books if this is his style. It's very frustrating to invest time to this read then being dropped! It's like having good sex without a climax!
