Description

There is no client as scary as an innocent man...

Mickey is a Lincoln Lawyer - a criminal defence attorney operating out of the back of his car, a Lincoln - taking whatever cases the system throws at him. He's been a defence lawyer for a long time, and he knows just how to work the legal system. When a Beverly Hills rich boy is arrested for brutally beating a woman, Haller gets his first high-paying client in years. The evidence mounts on the defence's side, and Haller might even be in the rare position of defending a client who is actually innocent.

But then the case starts to fall apart. And neither the suspect nor the victim are quite who they seem, and Haller quickly discovers that when you swim with the sharks, you might just end up as prey...

Spannender Krimi bzw. Anwaltsroman

Ich bin über den Film und die Serie, die auf diesem Roman basieren, auf dieses Buch gestoßen. Der Roman selbst ist spürbar in der Zeit (ca. 2004) stehengeblieben. Es ist auch vieles deutlich anders als in dem Film und der Serie. Aber das was anders ist, verleiht dem Buch und den Charakteren deutlich mehr Tiefgang. Vor allem kommt eine gewisse Rauheit durch, die ich sonst nur aus Noir-Krimis (à la SA Cosby) kenne. Darüber hinaus glänzt die Geschichte auch mit vielen Anspielungen an das Setting, was Kenner von Los Angeles sehr gut mitnimmt.
