Mickey Halley is a seasoned criminal defense attorney that takes on a case that might pay him his highest fees when a Beverly Hills playboy is arrested for attacking a woman. Halley is known to rarely care about innocence or guilt, but more his ability to manipulate the technicalities of the law or to get the best possible negotiations and settlements. When he is faced with a possibly innocent client, he is not sure he could recognize it if it were true.

This is a great courtroom, suspense book. There are so many layers that are peeled back during this engaging story that you are kept guessing where it might lead.

I liked the progression of the entire book. The reader was informed of every clue and twist as soon as the lawyer found out about it. There was no holding back on information and the reader was given everything the main character knew at the moment he found out.

I wanted to check out the movie.

Michael Connelly

I especially liked this book because I was made to feel like I was tagging along with this lawyer as he went about his business. It was much as if I was able to get the inside information and try to fit pieces together with the characters in the story.

Michael Connelly did an excellent job in this book. The characters are well-fleshed out and his plot was seemly simple, yet very involved. The growing amount of information you learn as the story progresses takes the story far deeper than where I initially thought it would go. A very good read.
