THE REVERSAL: MICKEY HALLER BOOK 3

The Reversal by Michael Connelly is the third gripping thriller featuring Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, as he takes on one of the most difficult and emotionally charged cases of his career.

Mickey Haller is accustomed to defending people accused of crimes. But this time, his role is completely different. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office asks him to prosecute a high-profile murder case involving Jason Jessup, a convicted child murderer who has spent more than two decades on death row.

Jessup has won a retrial after new DNA evidence raises questions about his original conviction. Now he is back in Los Angeles, and prosecutors must prove once again that he murdered a young girl.

Haller agrees to take the case—but only on one condition: he wants LAPD detective Harry Bosch working alongside him.

Bosch has never been comfortable with Haller's methods, and Haller isn't accustomed to having Bosch as an investigative partner. But the two men have a shared objective: to put Jessup back behind bars.

Joining them is Maggie McPherson, Haller's former wife and a prosecutor with her own complicated history with him. Together, the unlikely team must reconstruct a decades-old murder, examine the evidence that originally convicted Jessup and determine whether the new DNA evidence truly changes the case.

But Jessup is not an ordinary defendant. Intelligent, manipulative and seemingly fascinated by the media attention surrounding his return, he knows how to exploit weaknesses in the prosecution and turn the courtroom into his own stage.

As the trial approaches, Haller and Bosch face a race against time to establish what really happened years ago. Every piece of evidence matters, and a single mistake could allow a dangerous killer to walk free.
