About this listen

 In tough times, crime is one of the few things that still pays, but even criminals are having to make cut-backs. So for defence lawyer Mickey Haller, most of his new business is not about keeping people out of jail; it's about keeping a roof over their heads as the foreclosure business is booming.

Lisa Trammel has been a client of Mickey's for eight months, and so far he's stopped the bank from taking her house. But now the bank's CEO has been found beaten to death - and Lisa is about to be indicted for murder...

Daddy or chips? Bosch or Haller? After the gloom of 'Nine Dragons' it was great to see Mickey Haller back. This book does have a moral spine in it’s commentary on the state of the US housing market but this did not hamper the book for me. I enjoyed the development of Haller as a character and, whereas the other books had mixed positive/negative story lines I felt this book pays off and is more fulfilling. It always felt to me like Michael Connelly was never sure whether he liked Mickey Haller and played with set-up and knock down but this time out it feels like there is a purpose for the character; that we’re in the middle of a story arc. I hope this is a taste of what’s to come and, if so, I can’t wait.

I love Michael Connelly books and this one was no exception. Plot kept moving, great writing, a narrator who really brings the characters to life. Money well spent. I thoroughly recommend this book.

It's Michael Connelly, of course it's great

Welcome back Micky Haller.
I read his other story 'Reversal', while I stayed in remoted and isolated area (Not in prison!!!!! though my president, Mr. Myungbak Lee, sent one of my friend (Bongju Jung, aka funnel) sent to the prison as he humiliated the president. ). I feel lucky as I take the book when I go to there....
Anyway, I choose this item to hear while I travel around. And sometimes, I cannot loosen my seat belt to listen more... Very nice story.

Good and...
