INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES THE LINCOLN LAWYER - COMING SOON TO NETFLIX The bestselling legal thriller has charismatic defense attorney Mickey Haller taking on a slam-dunk court case involving a Beverly Hills playboy -- but as it spirals into a nightmare, he finds himself in a fight for his life. Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers -- they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it's about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it's even about justice. A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney's dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then someone close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal -- this time to save his own life.

"Öine vahetus" on Michael Connelly pinget pakkuva krimisarja esimene osa, mis tutvustab noort innukat Los Angelese naisuurijat Renee Ballardit. Kolleegide seas hinnatud uurija Ballard kaotab oma positsiooni, kui ta esitab leitnant Olivase vastu seksuaalse ahistamise kaebuse, mille tagajärjel määratakse naine jaoskonnas põlatud öise vahetuse uurija kohale. Seal alustab ta paljude juhtumite uurimist, kuid ei lõpeta ühtegi, sest peab need igal hommikul üle andma päevase vahetuse uurijatele. Ühel ööl satub Ballard aga kahe juhtumi otsa, mida ta tahab tingimata ise uurida: parklasse on maha jäetud jõhkralt läbipekstud prostituudi laip ja ööklubi tulistamises sureb nooruke ettekandja. Allumata korraldustele ja eirates oma paarilise käsku, töötab naine mõlema juhtumiga ka päevasel ajal. Need viivad teda lähemale tema enda deemonitele ja põhjustele, miks ta ei loobu oma tööst hoolimata takistustest, mida politseijaoskond tema teele paiskab."

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly: Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller enlists the help of his half-brother, Harry Bosch, to prove the innocence of a woman convicted of killing her husband. Inspiration for the #1 TV show on Netflix, The Lincoln Lawyer series.​ Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, he is inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to weed through the letters, knowing most claims will be false. Bosch pulls a needle from the haystack: a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff's deputy, but who still maintains her innocence. Bosch reviews the case and sees elements that don't add up, and a sheriff's department intent on bringing quick justice in the killing of one of its own. Now Haller has an uphill battle in court, a David fighting Goliaths to vindicate his client. The path for both lawyer and investigator is fraught with danger from those who don't want the case reopened and will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from finding the truth. Packed with intrigue and courtroom drama, Resurrection Walk shows once again that Michael Connelly is "the most consistently superior living crime fiction author" (South Florida Sun Sentinel).

LAPD detective Ren e Ballard and Harry Bosch team up to hunt the brutal killer who is Bosch's "white whale"--a man responsible for the murder of an entire family. Discover more thrilling Bosch mysteries in the original Freevee series Bosch: Legacy. A year has passed since LAPD detective Ren e Ballard quit the force in the face of misogyny, demoralization, and endless red tape. But after the chief of police himself tells her she can write her own ticket within the department, Ballard takes back her badge, leaving "the Late Show" to rebuild and lead the cold case unit at the elite Robbery-Homicide Division. For years, Harry Bosch has been working a case that haunts him--the murder of an entire family by a psychopath who still walks free. Ballard makes Bosch an offer: come volunteer as an investigator in her new Open-Unsolved Unit, and he can pursue his "white whale" with the resources of the LAPD behind him. First priority for Ballard is to clear the unsolved rape and murder of a sixteen-year-old girl. The decades-old case is essential to the councilman who supported re-forming the unit, and who could shutter it again--the victim was his sister. When Ballard gets a "cold hit" connecting the killing to a similar crime, proving that a serial predator has been at work in the city for years, the political pressure has never been higher. To keep momentum going, she has to pull Bosch off his own investigation, the case that is the consummation of his lifelong mission. The two must put aside old resentments and new tensions to run to ground not one but two dangerous killers who have operated with brash impunity. In what may be his most gripping and profoundly moving book yet, Michael Connelly shows once again why he has been dubbed "one of the greatest crime writers of all time" (Ryan Steck, Crimereads).

Ett år har gått sedan Renée Ballard slutade på LAPD på grund av kvinnofientligheten, sedeslösheten och all byråkrati. Men när polischefen säger åt henne att hon kan bestämma sin egen arbetsbeskrivning tar Ballard tillbaka sin polisbricka och lämnar nattjobbet för att bygga upp en cold case-grupp. Harry Bosch har i flera år ägnat sig åt ett fall som gäckat honom – mordet på en hel familj som begicks av en psykopat som fortfarande är på fri fot. Ballard ger Bosch ett erbjudande: Om han jobbar som volontär tillsammans med henne och cold case-gruppen så kanske han kan få hjälp av LAPD i jakten på sin nemesis? För att ha en chans att fånga den farliga mördaren måste de två kollegorna lägga allt gammalt groll bakom sig och visa upp en enad front.
