The Lincoln Lawyer


I love reading legal thrillers, so when the library app "Libby" recommended this book, I got intrigued by the title and borrowed it.  Michael Connelly delivers on all account.  This is a great read.


This is the first book in the series about the defense lawyer "Mickey Haller".   If a client can pay, he will defend them to the best of his ability.  His office is in his "Lincoln Town Car" where he is driven around from court house to court house by his chauffeur.  His clients are usually repeat offenders for drugs, prostitutions and gang related crimes.

As a private defense attorney he has to do a lot of advertising and he has to keep the facade that is expected from those who left the district attorney's office for private practice.  He has four Lincoln Town Cars that he rotates.  Haller lives in a rich neighborhood but is behind in his payments.  So when he is called to defend Mr. Roulet,  a high paying franchise client who is charge of committing a crime against a prostitute.   The twists and turns of events as the case moves forward will keep you reading until the end.
