The Law Of Innocence by Michael Connelly →

. RSS

A former police reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Michael Connelly is the best of the best crime writers bringing details to the story that pull you into the plot. In The Law of Innocence, Defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find a client’s body in his Lincoln’s trunk. Haller is charged with murder and can’t make the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge.

Of course, Mickey decides to defend himself but is faced with building his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles where his safety is a problem.

Mickey knows he’s been framed, and his team has no doubts about that. His half-brother Harry Bosch joins the team to help move from his nousualole as on the prosecution team.

The time setting for the story is in early 2020, and Connelly weaves in rumors of a spreading virus, people begin wearing masks, and chaos breaks out in the communities.

Another great job by this talented author.
