The Lincoln Lawyer (A Lincoln Lawyer Novel)

I am a huge believer in rewriting in my own work so I knew that the more time they spent with the script, the better it would become. They promised me six years ago that they would keep the gritty realism of the story – the-law-in-the-trenches aspect of it. The story is about a cool, calm man being put into a desperate situation. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Q&A with Michael ConnellyQ:The Lincoln Lawyer is your second book to be made into a movie.

As each was announced, I became more and more excited. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. Then when it comes to dialogue and action he delive

"Came from Bosch - love me some Lincoln Lawyer" according to Thomas B. Greenman. I started reading the Bosch series after watching the shows on Amazon and loving them.

To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal - this time to save his own life. But what he should have been on the watch for was evil. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence - it's about negotiation and manipulation. Mickey Haller has spent all his professional life afraid that he wouldn't recognize innocence if it stood right in front of him. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. Sometimes it's even about justice. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers - they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. The Lincoln Lawyer is a stunning display of novelistic mastery - as human, as gripping, and as whiplash-sur
