Defense attorney Mickey Haller - The Lincoln Lawyer - rides the wave of freeing a wrongfully convicted man from prison. Inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence, Haller enlists the help of ex-LAPD detective Harry Bosch to find the next case which could result in a resurrection walk.
When Bosch finds a needle in the haystack - a woman imprisoned for murdering her husband, a sheriff's deputy - they discover evidence that doesn't add up, and a department pushed for quick closure in the killing of one of its own. ut is this rushed justice - or something more sinister?
As they face a David versus Goliath court battle, the secrets which could lead to an innocent woman walking free could also mark the end of the Haller-Bosch dream team. . .

Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases,
where the chances of winning are one in a million. He agrees to
represent a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff's
deputy. Despite her conviction four years earlier, she still
maintains her innocence. Haller enlists his half brother, retired
LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, as investigator. Reviewing the case,
Bosch sees something that doesn't add up, and a sheriff's
department intent on bringing a quick search for justice in the
killing of one of its own. The path to justice for both the lawyer
and his investigator is fraught with danger from those who don't
want the case reopened. And they will stop at nothing to keep the
Haller-Bosch dream team from uncovering what the deputy's killing
was really about. CRIME DOESN'T COME BETTER THAN CONNELLY: 'The

Detective Renée Ballard is given the chance of a lifetime: revive
the LAPD's cold case unit and find justice for the families of the
forgotten. The only catch is they must first crack the unsolved
murder of the sister of the city councilman who is sponsoring the
department - or lose everything... OTHERS YOU CAN'T FORGIVE. Harry
Bosch is top of the list of investigators Ballard wants to recruit.
The former homicide detective is a living legend - but for how
long? Because Bosch has his own agenda: a crime that has haunted
him for years - the murder of a whole family, buried out in the
desert - which he vowed to close. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW WHO
DID IT? With the killer still out there and evidence elusive -
Bosch is on a collision course with a choice he hoped never to
make... * * * * * CRIME DOESN'T COME BETTER THAN CONNELLY: 'The

MAIL ON SUNDAY On New Year's Eve at the end of one of the hardest
years in history, hundreds of revellers shoot their guns into the
air in time-honoured LA tradition. But as the rain of lead comes
down, a man is shot dead in the middle of a crowded street party.
Detective Renee Ballard soon connects the bullet to an unsolved
cold case last worked by legendary ex-LAPD detective Harry Bosch.
As they investigate where the old and new cases connect, a new

will kill to keep their identities secret. In a police department

Harry Bosch works cold cases, helping out the under-funded San
Fernando police department. When a double murder at a local
pharmacy is called in, Bosch is the most seasoned detective on the
scene. But with experience, come the ghosts of long-forgotten
crimes. A death row inmate claims Bosch framed him, and that new
DNA evidence proves it. The LAPD investigators say the case is
watertight, leaving Bosch out in the wilderness to clear his name
and keep a sadistic killer behind bars. There's only one person he
can trust to help prove his innocence: Micky Haller, The Lincoln
Lawyer... As both cases tangle around him, Bosch learns there are
two kinds of truth: the kind that won't die and the kind that
kills.

thriller' Mail on Sunday 'Grabs you on the very first page and

latest case, defense attorney Mickey Haller - The Lincoln Lawyer -
is pulled over by the police. They open the trunk of his car to
find the body of a former client. Haller knows the law inside out.
He will be charged with murder. He will have to build his case from
behind bars. And the trial will be the trial of his life. Because
Mickey Haller will defend himself in court. With watertight
evidence stacked against him, Haller will need every trick in the
book to prove he was framed. But a not-guilty verdict isn't enough.

killer - that is the law of innocence... * * * * * 'Pick up this

true innocence the guilty man must be found and exposed to the

Los Angeles Detective Harry Bosch tackles a cold case unlike any
he's ever worked, in the new legal thriller from the bestselling
author of THE LINCOLN LAWYER and THE BLACK ECHO, Michael Connelly.
In the LA Police's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die
almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to
complications from being shot by a stray bullet ten years earlier,
Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but any
other evidence is virtually non-existent. Now Bosch and his new
partner, rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what
turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case.
Starting with the bullet that's been lodged for years in the
victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old
information, which soon reveals that this shooting may have been
anything but random in this gripping police procedural.
HOW DO YOU FIND A KILLER WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU?
Jack McEvoy is a reporter with a track record in finding killers. But he's never been accused of being one himself.
Jack went on one date with Tina Portrero. The next thing he knows, the police are at his house telling Jack he's a suspect in her murder.
Maybe it's because he doesn't like being accused of a crime he didn't commit. Or maybe it's because the method of her murder is so chilling that he can't get it out of his head.
But as he uses his journalistic skills to open doors closed to the police, Jack walks a thin line between suspect and detective - between investigation and obsession - on the trail of a killer who knows his victims better than they know themselves...

The hero of The Poet and The Scarecrow is back in this thriller
from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly. Jack
McEvoy, the journalist who never backs down, tracks a serial killer
who has been operating completely under the radar--until now.
Veteran reporter Jack McEvoy has taken down killers before, but
when a woman he had a one-night stand with is murdered in a
particularly brutal way, McEvoy realizes he might be facing a
criminal mind unlike any he's ever encountered. Jack
investigates--against the warnings of the police and his own
editor--and makes a shocking discovery that connects the crime to
other mysterious deaths across the country. Undetected by law
enforcement, a vicious killer has been hunting women, using genetic
data to select and stalk his targets. Uncovering the murkiest
corners of the dark web, Jack races to find and protect the last
source who can lead him to his quarry. But the killer has already
chosen his next target, and he's ready to strike. Terrifying and
unputdownable, Fair Warning shows once again why "Michael Connelly
has earned his place in the pantheon of great crime fiction
writers" (Chicago Sun-Times). A Kirkus Best Book of 2020

Lincoln Lawyer - a criminal defence attorney operating out of the
back of his car, a Lincoln - taking whatever cases the system
throws at him. He's been a defence lawyer for a long time, and he
knows just how to work the legal system. When a Beverly Hills rich

apart. And neither the suspect nor the victim are quite who they
seem, and Haller quickly discovers that when you swim with the
sharks, you might just end up as prey...
