Plot:
Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After
two years of wrong turns, he is back in the courtroom. When his famed
former colleague Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits the biggest
case he’s ever had: defending Walter Elliot, a prominent
Hollywood producer accused of murdering his wife and her lover. Haller
has his hands full with Elliot, who seems more concerned about his
movies than about a possible life sentence. With a key part of the
defense’s strategy missing, Mickey scrambles to prepare for
trial, and the pressure only intensifies when he learns that
Vincent’s killer may be coming for him next.
Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent’s murderer,
Bosch will do whatever it takes to crack the case, even if that means
using Haller as bait. Flip sides of the same coin, Haller and Bosch
rarely see eye to eye on the law. But as danger mounts and the stakes
rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work as a team.
