Mickey Haller has spent all his professional life scared that he wouldn’t recognize innocence if it stood correct before him. But what he should have been over the watch for was evil.

Haller is definitely a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal protection attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between your far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend customers of every kind. Bikers, people, drunk drivers, medication sellers – they’re all on Mickey Haller’s customer list. For him, about The Lincoln Lawyer the law is rarely about guilt or innocence – it’s about negotiation and manipulation. Occasionally it’s also about justice.

A Beverly Hillsides playboy caught for attacking a woman he picked up in a pub chooses Haller to guard him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney’s fantasy, what they contact a franchise case. And as the data stacks up, Haller comes to believe this can be easy and simple case of his career.

Then someone close to him is certainly murdered and Haller discovers that his seek out innocence has brought him face-to-face with wicked as pure as a flame. To flee without being burnt, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal – this time to save his own existence.

The Lincoln Attorney is a stunning display of novelistic mastery – as individual, as gripping, so that as whiplash-surprising as any book yet from the writer Publishers Weekly has known as ‘today’s Dostoyevsky of criminal offense literature.’
