The Brass Verdict: A Novel

The Brass Verdict: A Novel by Michael Connelly, 422 pages.
Mickey Haller retired from practicing law for a while after The Lincoln Lawyer incidents. It's a little vague in the beginning and I almost thought that I had missed a volume, but this is the 2nd in the Micky Haller series, or the 14th in the Harry Bosch series, since he shows up and investigates. Haller is named the attorney of record for a whole slew of clients when a lawyer with whom he sometimes worked is murdered. The biggest of these clients is a Hollywood producer who has been accused of murdering his wife and her lover. It is clear to almost everyone that the man is guilty. As Haller tries to find some way to clear his client he also tries to help in his late colleague's murder investigation. Well-paced and interesting to the end. Narrated by Peter Giles.
