A blistering courtroom drama featuring The Lincoln Lawyer's Mickey Haller from the master of the genre. For Mickey, it's back to what he does best on the biggest stage of all,
but if he thought defending Lisa Trammel was going to be a walk in the
park, he'd be wrong. Not only is he about to learn some startling truths
about his client, but also about himself, and by the time the verdict
is in, Mickey's whole world will have been turned upside down.

So for defence lawyer Mickey Haller, most of his new business is not about keeping people out of jail; it's about keeping a roof over their heads as the foreclosure business is booming. Lisa Trammel has been a client of Mickey's for eight months, and so far he's stopped the bank from taking her house. But now the bank's CEO has been found beaten to death - and Lisa is about to be indicted for murder...

About the Author
Michael Connelly decided to become a writer after discovering the
books of Raymond Chandler while attending the University of Florida.
After graduating in 1980, Connelly worked at newspapers in Daytona
Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ending up as a crime reporter for
the Los Angeles Times, one of the largest papers in the country, and
bringing him to the city of which his literary hero, Chandler, had
written.
After three years on the crime beat in L.A., Connelly began
writing his first novel to feature LAPD Detective Hieronymus Bosch. The
novel, The Black Echo, based in part on a true crime that had occurred
in Los Angeles, was published in 1992 and won the Edgar Award for Best
First Novel by the Mystery Writers of America. The rest is crime writing history.
He lives in Tampa, Florida, with his wife and daughter.
