Michael Connelly is the master of the crime novel and uses Los Angeles as one of his characters. In this second in his Lincoln Lawyer series, the novel opens two years after the first novel. Mickey Haller had a tough recovery from the injuries he suffered from at the end of the last book. His recovery led to a particular difficult addiction to pain medication. Now his colleague has been murdered and Mickey was the attorney in line to step in upon an event such as this. He now has a high profile case involving a studio head who is accused of murdering his wife. But why was the collegue murdered? Is Mickey now in the line of fire.
Great action and intrique. I have not read Connelly's other series featuring world-weary homicide detective Harry Bosch but Bosch shows up in this book as a minor character.
I like Mickey Haller and it does not hurt to have Mathew McConaughey in my mind as the main character.
