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.

Didn’t realize it was the large print font but that’s my fault. Otherwise no complaints. Haven’t read the book yet so the review is more for the condition of the book. It came as described, new and in good condition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Courtroom Drama!
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2011

I read The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly after watching the movie. I haven't dipped into the mystery/crime thriller genre in a long while and thought it was about time! Both the book and movie impressed me both in characterization and plot organization.

So, Mickey Haller isn't your typical male hero that comes in to solve the crime or save the day. He is a defense attorney - he fights for the bad (*ahem* allegedly) guys. When the case of a wealthy realtor falls in his lap, he thinks things are finally going his way. He gets a case guaranteed to make him a big pile of money and he thinks - for once - his guy might even be innocent. Of course, as I've come to learn, in the worlds that Michael Connelly writes in things are never what they seem - you have to go through a constantly twisting and winding journey to see where Mickey's case will eventually take him.

So, even though Mickey doesn't come off as the type of guy you'd typically root for - I dare you not to fall under his spell just the same (and this isn't just a Matthew McConaughey movie flashback either). He does have his own special set of ethical guidelines - and even when he is skating legal and moral corners you can't help but be impressed by him. This man is wily. He is also a sucker for his daughter and ex-wife (sorry - make that ex-wives). He wants to be a family man but that role didn't work out for him since his woman of choice is a prosecutor that ultimately couldn't handle him fighting on the "wrong" side.

As for the plot - Michael Connelly certainly delivers on that front, y'all. Not only do his books keep you in a constant state of anticipation, but the mysteries are engaging. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, it would be pretty much impossible to foresee all of them. Impressive stuff.

So anyway, I read through the entire four book Mickey Haller series in a row - couldn't get enough! Can't wait to see where it goes next. I highly recommend both the movie and the book. I actually watched the movie first - which might have even made me appreciate the book's intricacies (and different ending) more. Definitely worth checking out, even if it isn't your normal genre!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling Courtroom Drama: A Stellar Debut in 'The Lincoln Lawyer
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2023
Verified Purchase
Michael Connelly's "The Lincoln Lawyer," the first book in its series, is a riveting legal thriller that marks a stellar debut for its compelling protagonist, Mickey Haller. Connelly masterfully intertwines the gritty realism of courtroom drama with the complex inner workings of the legal system, delivering an enthralling narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

The character of Mickey Haller is brilliantly crafted, embodying a perfect blend of professional savvy and personal vulnerability. His unconventional practice from the back of his Lincoln town car adds a unique flavor to the story, making him an instantly memorable character in the world of legal fiction.

Connelly's expertise in crime and legal procedure shines through in every page, ensuring that the plot is not only engaging but also authentic. The twists and turns of the courtroom battles are cleverly plotted, with surprises that are both shocking and satisfying. The supporting cast of characters is equally well-developed, each adding depth and complexity to the narrative.

What sets "The Lincoln Lawyer" apart is Connelly's ability to weave a morally complex tale that challenges the reader's perceptions of justice and redemption. The book doesn't shy away from exploring the darker corners of the legal world, yet it does so with a sense of hope and humanity.

In summary, "The Lincoln Lawyer" is a must-read for fans of legal thrillers. Connelly's razor-sharp writing and his deep understanding of the legal system make this book a standout in the genre. It's a compelling, thought-provoking read that establishes Mickey Haller as one of the most intriguing characters in contemporary fiction.

Ich habe mir auf Amazon die Kindle-Ausgabe des Buches "The Lincoln Lawyer" gekauft. Das Buch gehört zur Mickey Haller Serie und ist der erste Teil dieser Reihe. Es handelt sich um einen Gerichtsthriller. Das Buch ist spannend geschrieben. 50 % des Buches habe ich an einem Tag gelesen, weil ich das eBook vor Spannung nicht weglegen konnte. Inhaltlich trifft der Rechtsanwalt Mickey Haller auf den Mandanten Roulet. Roulet erweist sich schon bald als Soziopath, der angeblich einen Menschen mit der Schusswaffe von Haller umbracht haben soll, um Haller zur Verteidigung zu nötigen. Haller hat schon bald daraufhin die Polizei am Hals, die glaubt dass er der Mörder ist.
