The Lincoln Lawyer
Los Angeles defense attorney Mickey Haller runs his practice from the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car and is accustomed to representing clients others distrust. Wealthy real-estate heir Louis Roulet hires him to fight an assault charge, offering the lucrative case Mickey has been waiting for. Evidence connecting Roulet's story to an earlier client forces Mickey to navigate privilege, professional ethics, and danger while trying to correct a failure hidden inside his own case history. Sharp and propulsive, this series opener suits readers who enjoy streetwise lawyers, courtroom tactics, Los Angeles crime, morally gray defense work, and mysteries where the apparent dream client becomes the attorney's greatest threat.
