Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller is back in the heart-stopping new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly. In his highest stakes case yet, Mickey fights for his life and shows why he is "a worthy colleague of Atticus Finch...in the front of the pack in the legal thriller game" (Los Angeles Times).

Defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Mickey is charged with murder and can't make the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge. He elects to defend himself and must strategize and build his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles, all the while looking over his shoulder. As an officer of the court, he is an instant target.
