The biggest potential money making client of his career chooses him to represent him. Perhaps for the first time Mickey has taken on an innocent client. He always wondered if he would know an innocent one if he saw one. Is Louis Roulet that man? Louis is accused of the attempted rape and assault of a girl he met in a bar who later on is found to be a prostitute and possibly only after Roulet's money. Can Mickey help him or will Louis end up like his last client who was accused of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Is Mickey too bitter about the world in general to know the difference anymore between guilt and innocence? Will it endanger his life this time? For the first time Mickey might have to take an honest look at the job he's been doing and the life he's been leading.

The Lincoln Lawyer is a first time legal thriller for award winning author Michael Connelly. In true Connelly fashion this book is an exciting ride along adventure. Having read most of Mr. Connelly's work I can assure you that once again he hits the mark of satisfying the reader. I hope to see more legal thrillers from him in the future.
