The Lincoln Lawyer: A Novel

The Lincoln Lawyer: A Novel by Michael Connelly, 404 pages.
I have really been enjoying the fact that between Overdrive and Hoopla we seem to have the bulk of the works of Michael Connelly available on audio. While Titus Welliver and Len Cariou are among the best of all possible narrators, the others that you come across reading the Connelly collection are quite good, too.
This is the book that introduced Connelly's new character, Mickey Haller, back in 2005 and became a movie starring Matthew McConaughey in 2011. Micky Haller is a criminal defense attorney who advertises on bus stop benches, works out of his Lincoln Town Cars instead of an office, and has frequent run-ins with the California Bar Association. When he lands a wealthy client, a real estate broker, seller of exclusive Bel-Air homes, who has been accused of a heinous crime, Haller must figure out a way to get his client acquitted and keep himself safe. A good solid legal thriller.

Narrated by Adam Grupper.
