THE LINCOLN LAWYER: MICKEY HALLER BOOK 1

The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly is the first gripping thriller featuring Mickey Haller, a charismatic Los Angeles defense attorney who conducts his legal business from the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car.

Mickey Haller makes a living defending clients who are often guilty, difficult or desperate. He knows that everyone deserves a defense, and he has built his career navigating the gray areas between justice, money and the law.

His latest client is Louis Roulet, a wealthy young man accused of brutally assaulting a woman. Roulet insists he is innocent, and the case initially looks like the kind of high-profile opportunity that could transform Haller's career.

But as Mickey digs deeper into the evidence, he begins to notice disturbing connections between Roulet's case and one of the most painful cases of his own past.

What first appears to be an ordinary defense case gradually becomes a dangerous psychological game. Haller realizes that his client may be hiding far more than he admits—and that someone may have deliberately chosen him as the lawyer for a reason.

As the courtroom battle approaches, Mickey must use every legal strategy at his disposal while confronting an opponent who seems to know exactly how the justice system works. The stakes become increasingly personal, and one wrong move could cost him his career, his freedom or even his life.

Fast-paced, intelligent and packed with courtroom twists, The Lincoln Lawyer is a compelling legal thriller about justice, manipulation, morality and the dangerous gap between winning a case and discovering the truth. It introduces Mickey Haller, one of Michael Connelly's most memorable characters, and launches the bestselling Lincoln Lawyer series.
