A man who is driven to meet his clients in a Lincoln and runs his business from that same Lincoln
Who was the narrator?
From the beginning of this series of books, Connelly has presented the character as an extremely flawed person. He is a lawyer with no office. A man who is driven to meet his clients in a Lincoln and runs his business from that same Lincoln.In the beginning, Haller was presented as a man who only did what he did for money. As the series progresses, he is shown as a more caring person and a man who wants to protect the clients he represents.This book starts out a bit slow. But, it rapidly speeds up, The murder occurs, the client is arrested and then the legal and political maneuvering starts. The pace picks up as one of the series long time characters is killed. Haller starts to deal with even more guilt and angst than he usually.The pace continues until his client is stabbed and lies near death, Haller somehow pulls off both legal and medical miracles that leads to  a tense, horrible courtroom finale. A finale that probably another lawyer would not have the courage or the determination to pull off. But Haller always takes care of his clients. The finale is one that you will remember for a good bit.I think Connelly is the second or third best American criminal writer. I have Amazon send me his books on the day they are published and I expect I always will.If you a good, tense read that involves you in the characters, the crime and the ultimate trial. This is the book for you.
