About This Audiobook
Defense attorney Mickey Haller is stopped by police who find a dead client in the trunk of his Lincoln, and within hours he is charged with murder and locked in the Twin Towers Correctional Center on a five-million-dollar bail he cannot make. Forced to defend himself from a jail cell, Haller must rebuild his entire legal strategy through intermediaries while watching his professional and personal life erode around him. Michael Connelly's sixth Lincoln Lawyer novel puts its hero in the most vulnerable position yet.
Peter Giles narrates with a sharp, street-smart energy appropriate to Haller's voice, which is more aggressive and politically savvy than Connelly's other protagonist, Bosch. Giles captures the black humor with which Haller approaches his predicament without undercutting the genuine stakes. The Barry Award acknowledges a legal thriller that does something genuinely fresh with the courtroom genre by removing its protagonist's freedom before the proceedings even begin.
