Lincoln Lawyer

By Michael Connelly (read Feb 2006)
California defense lawyer Mickey Haller, runs his office out of his Lincoln Town Car. Mickey doesn`t worry too much about the actual guilt or innocence of his disreputable clientele. Instead, he prefers to concentrate on locating the loopholes in the prosecution`s case and keeping an eye on his bottom line. Mickey`s priorities undergo a radical shift--too late, perhaps--when he manages to land a rich client accused of assaulting a woman at a bar, and discovers that the apparently slam-dunk case has an extremely unpleasant price tag attached to it.

Mickey has always wondered if he met a truly innocent man would he recognize it. With this case he thinks he's met that man.
