The Lincoln Lawyer
Mickey Haller Series Book One
By Michael Connelly
Mickey Haller is a criminal defense
attorney whose client list ranges from bikers and prostitutes to drunk drivers
and drug dealers. One day a bail bonds man who is “on his Christmas list” calls
him up with what they call a franchise case, a person who can pay your high
fees and a trial that will subsequently drag on, but when Haller takes on the
case of the innocent rich kid supposedly attempting to murder a prostitute, he
may get more than he had bargained for. What happens when the client in
question turns out to be truly evil?
The main character is not your
ordinary sleazy lawyer, but a man with two ex-wives whom are still a part of
his life, a daughter, and compassion for the so called criminals he defends
even if they are guilty. The way the author not only has his main character
feel compassion for the criminals he defends but you soon find yourself having
the same empathy. The main character seems to be rounded out by the cast of
this novel, taking him from an almost despicable man to one whom you care for
in the end. Not only does Michael Connelly do a brilliant job with his cast of
characters but he also had a storyline so full of twists and drama that this is
a remarkable read.
