Brass Verdict (Mickey Haller, #2) (Lincoln Lawyer, #2)

by Michael Connelly

Defence lawyer Mickey Haller has had some problems but now he's put all that behind him and is ready to resume his career. Then another lawyer, Vincent, dies, and Haller gets an unexpected windfall: he inherits all Vincent's clients - putting his stalled career back on track at a stroke.

Not only that, but Vincent had taken on a high profile and potentially lucrative murder case. It'll be a trial that promises big fees and an even bigger place in the media spotlight - and if Mickey can win against the odds, he'd really be back in the big leagues.

The only problem is the detective handling the case - a certain Harry Bosch - is convinced the killer must be one of Vincent's clients. Suddenly Mickey is faced with the biggest challenge of his career: how to successfully defend a client who might just be planning to murder him.

Reviews

I have not yet read Connelly’s first Mickey Haller novel, but it didn’t make a difference. I really liked Mickey. He felt real, probably because he has some pretty significant flaws. However, he’s a much more honest defense attorney than you usually find in fiction. His personal life may be a mess, but in the courtroom, he’s all business. I’ve read a couple of the Harry Bosch books and find him to be quite a heavy character, so Mickey is a bit of a breath of fresh air.

I also thought the storyline was quite good. There’s a lot of twists and turns that keep you guessing, but everything makes sense. I especially liked the final twist, which provides a further tie-in between the Haller and Bosch books. All in all, this was pretty great!
