The bestselling legal thriller--and upcoming Netflix series--has
charismatic defense attorney Mickey Haller taking on a slam-dunk court
case involving a Beverly Hills playboy--but as it spirals into a
nightmare, he finds himself in a fight for his life. Mickey Haller is
a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the
backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung
courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con
artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers**--**they're all on Mickey Haller's
client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's
about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice. A
Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a
bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying
client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a
franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe
this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is
murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought
him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being
burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal
-- this time to save his own life.
