The Lincoln Lawyer

This is an okay book written by Michael Connelly. 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. 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. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career.

This is the first novel featuring attorney Mickey Haller. A film version starring Matthew McConaughey was released on March 18, 2011.
