The Fifth Witness

This is an okay book written by Michael Connelly. Mickey Haller has fallen on tough times. Criminal defense in Los Angeles has virtually dried up, and with paying clients few and far between, he has had to expand his business into foreclosure defense. But just when Mickey thinks criminal court is in his rearview mirror, one of his new clients is accused of killing the banker she blames for trying to take her home away. For Mickey, it’s back to what he does best – at the center of a case that has attracted massive media attention. He puts his team into high gear to exonerate Lisa Trammel, despite what seems to be a mountain of evidence against her, a take-no-prisoners prosecutor, and his own suspicions that his client is guilty.

This is the fourth novel in the Mickey Haller series.
