The 'Lincoln Lawyer' grapples with a haunting case in a gripping thriller from bestselling author Michael Connelly.

Mickey Haller gets the text 'Call me ASAP - 187', and the California penal code for murder immediately gets his attention.

Suddenly, Mickey's not just trying to get his client off a murder charge, but there is a more personal connection: the victim was Gloria Dayton - his own former client, a prostitute he thought he had rescued and put on the straight and narrow. Far from saving her, Haller may have been her downfall.

Haunted by the ghosts of his own past, and with his own guilt or redemption on the line, he desperately needs to find out who Gloria really was and who, ultimately, was responsible for her death.

Any new book by Michael Connelly is a cause for celebration....Connelly is one of the best crime story writers on the scene today. Each new novel refines his talent and makes its story one to be remembered.--Jackie Cooper, Huffington Post

Connelly continues his streak of telling stellar crime stories.--Associated Press

Connelly excels....the consistency of his excellence is remarkable.--Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times

Connelly knows when to put his foot on the gas and when to take it off. Once he has you on board, turning the pages, you won't want to climb off.

--Boston Globe

Connelly's work has it all---sharply drawn, engaging characters, snappy dialogue, and a plot that moves like a shot of Red Bull.--San Francisco Chronicle

Michael Connelly may be the best thriller writer we have.--Jane Henderson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Lesser Gods

An entertaining but not very surprising courtroom thriller from the reliable pen of Michael Connolly. The Lincoln Lawyer packed a wallop - built a world and provided a wonderfully flawed hero in Bosch's half brother, Mickey Haller. I skipped to novel 5, but a lot of the magic of the first Haller has worn thin.

It draws on some of the characters of the first novel to set up this wrongful murder story. This is an asset and a liability. Like with LL, the female characters are poorly drawn Mary Sues that Haller overly praises for doing their jobs (Aronson). The mystery itself is OK, but you know what's coming. There are a couple of surprises that don't really succeed.

That said, its never dull and Connolly obviously relishes the Haller character, so it's worth a read. Just don't expect greatness.

Good thriller, not as good as Bosch

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2019

I loved reading through Connelly’s Bosch series and when they ran out, having been introduced to Mickey Haller in some of the novels as well as the Lincoln Lawyer film, I figured why not try these?
Well, as I was coming to the end of the Connelly portfolio, I kinda felt that the Haller series didn’t feel as good as Bosch. A bit less fluid, and not quite as entertaining, but a decent read nevertheless and I’d probably still be reading them if there were more.
On to Lee Childs’ Jack Reacher now.

The Lincoln Lawyer defends a man who allegedly killed a former client of Haller's.

I, too, like other reviewers here, prefer the Harry Bosch stories, but although this book had a somewhat slow start, it picked up mid-way and I enjoyed the court scenes. I also like the team Haller has, particularly the new young female lawyer. There were one or two shocks along the way but Mickey won the day so I went to sleep happy!

Pretty good....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2020

Having sadly seen Harry Bosch come to the end of his career I started on the Mickey Haller series. Although not as interesting a character as Bosch he is still worth a read. Connelly is an excellent writer and is well versed in taking the reader into the labyrinth of Los Angeles and pulling the plot along with taut dialogue. The first half is a bit slow but it builds up in the second half with the courtroom drama. Yes sometimes it’s a bit far fetched and there are some convenient/hard to believe coincidences.....but it still rattles along. Not up to his best standard but enough to keep me wanting more....

Long wait for the good part

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2020

This book has a good, gripping ending, but heavens it takes a long time to get there. Is Michael Connolly so successful that his editors are afraid to tell him that the first half of the book needed to be shortened and tightened up? A lot. Skim your way through to the point where the courtroom drama takes off.

Standard issue from Connelly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2020

Verified Purchase

Easy to read, easy to enjoy. Pushes the boundaries of plausibility but that's exactly what a story like this should do. Definitely worth a read even if you know pretty much how it will end from early on in the book. It still will keep you wanting to carry on turning the pages. Connelly is great at filling the book with details that don't matter to the plot but also keeping you interested because it is so easy to enjoy and follow.

Another wonderful novel from his lordship Michael Connelly! Love all of his books, even though it took me a couple of Mickey Haller’s books to get properly hooked! I know I am now going to read his last one so far.........I’m going to be absolutely lost with no idea who I should read after I’ve finished his last novel. The Law Of Innocence (2020)

Enjoyable, pacey, thriller with Mickey Baller and his team, taking a murder case as the victim was a past client. After Vets muddied when a Mexican cartel killer is linked by a shady DEA agent, who appears to pull strings. Usual likeable characters, fast paced with climax in courtroom.
