In this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller, after taking on a
foreclosure case, defense attorney Mickey Haller fights to prove his
client's innocence--but first he must follow a trail of black market
evidence to its sinister end Mickey Haller has fallen on tough times.
He expands his business into foreclosure defense, only to see one of his
clients accused of killing the banker she blames for trying to take away
her home.
Mickey puts his team into high gear to exonerate Lisa Trammel, even
though the evidence and his own suspicions tell him his client is
guilty. Soon after he learns that the victim had black market dealings
of his own, Haller is assaulted, too -- and he's certain he's on the
right trail.
Despite the danger and uncertainty, Haller mounts the best defense of
his career in a trial where the last surprise comes after the verdict is
in. Connelly proves again why he "may very well be the best novelist
working in the United States today" (San Francisco Chronicle).
