The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly free download kindle ebook


This novel is certainly over a par with the very best of the fifteen stories in Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series any initial disappointment that may be felt by Bosch's fans once they learn that Connelly has for the time being abandoned Harry and only Mickey Haller, a criminal defense attorney whose seemingly guilty clients often make use of police errors, will right away be replaced through the recognition that Connelly has established another character at the very least as complex and interesting as Harry. Mickey's persona is actually the opposite of Harry's, for him what the law states is about the art of the possible, his industry is often those who are down on their luck and so on the incorrect side of the law. Harry specializes in identifying the guilty so that you can provide justice for that victims in addition to their families Mickey is afraid that someday he'll be hired to guard a customer whose innocence he'll be incompetent at recognizing and so he can simply pursue the "best deal" rather than throwing all his effort into gaining a "not guilty" verdict.

The storyplot opens with Mickey getting a phone call from Fernando Valenzuela (no, not the pitcher, though the bail bondsman) in the office throughout his approach to a court hearing for Harold Casey, an affiliate of the Road Saints motorcycle gang who is awaiting trial on multiple drug and weapons charges. (The Lincoln Town Car that is his office is an integral element both in his life as well as eventually becomes a significant detail inside particular case which can be at the midst of this story.) Valenzuela alerts Mickey to the possibilty of a potential "franchise case", a big money case involving a high profile client who has been booked for aggravated assualt, gross bodily injury, and attempted rape and that is interested in having Mickey represent him. As Mickey investigates the case, he quickly decides that his defense of Louis Roulet, a Beverly Hills property salesman, will be one of several easiest cases of his career and in fact it might never even reach trial and so deprive him of both big payday as well as the publicity that he had hoped to obtain. Several unexpected twists quickly occur, then when one of Mickey's buddys is murdered he knows that as an alternative to worrying about neglecting to recognize innocence if this confronts him, the very first time as part of his career he could instead be in mortal danger through the pure evil which can be apparently behind the attack in which his client is on trial. This all is foreshadowed wonderfully very at the beginning of the ebook with the following brief injection of Mickey's mental commentary (the story is written entirely inside first person)

"A lot of society thought of me since the devil but they were wrong. I was a greasy angel. I became the road saint.

I was required as well as wanted. Simply by each factors. I ended up being the oil in the machine. I allowed the actual equipment in order to crank and turn. I helped keep the engine of the system running.But all of that would change with the Roulet case. For me. For him. And certainly for Jesus Menendez."
And during the rest of the story, as Mickey defends Roulet and we gradually discover who Jesus Menendez is and his relevance to this case, we watch the juxtaposition of guilt and innocence and the clash of good and evil as the assumptions at the heart of Mickey's existence are threatened. As the title of Part Two so deftly summarizes , Mickey has entered " a world without truth."

We are gradually shown the important folks Mickey's life - his dead father (a lengendary defense attorney), his two ex-wives (both with central roles within this story) and also the young daughter who he's neglected due to the press of his caseload. Because book proceeds, Connelly's meticulous research provides reader with the same form of interesting detail about the legislation that the Bosch series provided regarding police procedures. (In addition to being an added bonus, Connelly's understanding of detective work makes that part of this story very realistic.) Furthermore, the explicit and implicit observations about human nature along with the human condition which can be embedded through the LINCOLN LAWYER added immensely to my enjoyment of the story. Several of Mickey's small time clients not simply prove necessary to the Roulet case as it unfolds however are intesting in their own right. Which means this book is very recommended, both for Michael Connelly fans so when an introduction to his work for new readers. Whether Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller eventually meet or perhaps the two series remain on totally independent tracks, It seems that the article author has generated interesting enough characters in order to create the premise for several future bestsellers. Within the past a few years my personal favorite legal procedurals include the series manufactured by John Lescroart involving lawyer Dismas Hardy and detective Abraham Glitsky. These novels successfully combine background case development and courtroom drama with truly interesting characters (Abe, Diz and their associates, friends and families) whose lives are an integral aspect in the stories. This book is on a par while using best stories in that series, and will be very enjoyable for fans of both Connelly and Lescroart and actually for those readers of legal thrillers.
