“A classic whodunit…an extra treat for the reader is being able to follow the case from the dual perspectives of the prosecution and the defense…Brothers Bosch and Haller may be, but at times they seem a lot like an ego and its id.” - New York Times Book Review I have been recently disappointed that I am almost through all the Bosch books but with the introduction of his half brother attorney, I look forward to discovering another line of Conellys books with this character. This book continues to allow for that but also introduce the process of the judicial system as Bosch teams up with a defense lawyer. I very much enjoy all crime mystery because besides the suspense, I enjoy learning the detective process. "In this story Bosch takes on another position working for the "other side". But as Bosch gets closer to discovering the truth, he makes himself a target. With the secret help of his former LAPD partner Lucia Soto, he turns the investigation inside the police department. Though it goes against all his instincts, Bosch takes the case. The murder rap against his client seems ironclad, but Mickey is sure it’s a setup.
We'll ride.Harry Bosch teams up with Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller in the new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly.ĭetective Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD, but his half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, needs his help. Give me a couple of weeks and I'll call you. Now she took her eyes off the circus and looked at him. It's the same bike Lee Marvin rode in 'The Wild One' …" A nineteen-fifty panhead that needs its carburetor back in place … That's next. Has the groundwork been laid for a new series? The title implies it, but in the end Connelly leaves us guessing whether this family affair will continue or Bosch will really retire and ride off into the sunset with a new love. Bosch, of course, takes the case, crosses the line and uncovers the real killers, helping Haller free his client. In trademarked fashion, he slowly peels the layers in "The Crossing," exposing a rotten and deadly core.
Haller has his moments, but Bosch is the star.Ĭonnelly, rubbing elbows with movie stars and making forays into television ("Bosch" is going into its second season on Amazon), has been busy. A killer devious enough to set up an innocent man … It was something he had trouble leaving alone."ĭespite a larger role for his college-bound daughter and the juiced-up brother connection, this is not a family affair. "If client was truly innocent, then there was a killer out there whom no one was even looking for. A cop for nearly 30 years, working for the defense is a line he cannot cross, but … Half-brother Mickey Haller, "The Lincoln Lawyer," offers him a job: investigator on a murder case that Haller, despite air-tight evidence, believes his client did not commit.
Bored and chafing, the role does not suit him.
