review 1: PROTAGONIST: Mickey Haller, defense attorneySETTING: Los AngelesSERIES: #5 of 5RATING: 4.0WHY: Several years ago, defense attorney Mickey Haller made a connection with prostitute "Gloria Dayton", felt he made a positive difference in her life. Now she's been murdered, and he finds that he has been deluding himself about the success story. He's taken on the defense of her supposed murderer, her pimp Andre La Cosse. A complicated yet engrossing plot involves cartel boss Hector Moya, serving life due to being set up by Gloria; a rogue DEA agent, and a retired cop. The team that supports Haller is intriguing as well. I did find that some of the stuff in Haller's personal life got in the way of the narrative.
review 2: Another excellent book by Michael Connelly
... more - - The protagonist is Mickey Haller - he was the subject in the Lincoln Lawyer book and movie. Connelly makes a reference to the movie in this book and its a pretty funny reference. Like the Lincoln Lawyer, this book delves deeply into how a court room works - the gritty details behind the relationships between the judge, the prosecution, the defense team and the accused. Its a fascinating look at how our legal system works. The case is a murder case but its not straight forward - it brings in many different facets of the case and many different characters. Haller is a whiz at finding loopholes and he's not afraid to put them to maximum use for his client. Connelly writes in short, concise sentences - you will feel a part of the action - a super read! less
