Michael Connelly In "The Brass Verdict"

“There is nothing you can do about the past except keep it there.”
Michael Connelly, The Brass Verdict

In his Lincoln Lawyer novel The Brass Verdict, things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent’s killer may be coming for him next.

Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent’s killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together.

We liked this book a lot, and deliberately slowed down our reading pace so it could last longer… It’s so hard to put down a Harry Bosch’s book… Specially knowing we are going to have to wait at least a year for the next one!
