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).

Kholleru nuzhny te, kto budet igrat na ego storone, i on zaruchaetsja ikh podderzhkoj, - eto byvshaja zhena, pomoschnik okruzhnogo prokurora, po prozvischu Svirepaja Meggi, i svodnyj brat, detektiv Garri Boskh, kotoryj budet doznavatelem.

Connellys nye serie om Renée Ballard som vil opp og frem i LAPD, kommer nå på norsk for første gang. På verdensbasis har han solgt over 80 millioner bøker, og han er Jørn Liers Horsts favorittforfatter. Renée Ballard jobber nattskiftet i Hollywood, og hun opplever starten på mange saker, men fullfører ingen. Jobben hennes er å overlate sakene til etterforskerne på dagskiftet. Dette er straffen for at hun dristet seg til å klage over seksuelle tilnærmelser fra en overordnet. Men en natt kommer hun over to saker hun ikke vil gi fra seg: En prostituert blir banket opp og etterlatt død, og en ung kvinne blir drept i en skuddveksling på en nattklubb. Dagen etter blåser hun i ordrene hun får og fortsetter etterforskningen på eget initiativ. Underveis blir det stadig tydeligere hvorfor hun nekter å gi opp jobben i politiet, uansett hvilke drittoppgaver hun blir satt til.

"Boken är lättläst, språket är spänstigt och inte utan humor. Spänningen hålls på hög nivå." BTJEtt 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.
In this "tense" thriller and #1 New York Times bestseller, Detective Harry Bosch teams up with Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller to track down a killer who just might find them first (Wall Street Journal). Detective Harry Bosch has retired from the LAPD, but his half-brother, defense attorney Mickey Haller, needs his help. A woman has been brutally murdered in her bed and all evidence points to Haller's client, a former gang member turned family man. Though the murder rap seems ironclad, Mickey is sure it's a setup. Bosch doesn't want anything to do with crossing the aisle to work for the defense. He feels it will undo all the good he's done in his thirty years as a homicide cop. But Mickey promises to let the chips fall where they may. If Harry proves that his client did it, under the rules of discovery, they are obliged to turn over the evidence to the prosecution. Though it goes against all his instincts, Bosch reluctantly takes the case. The prosecution's file just has too many holes and he has to find out for himself: if Haller's client didn't do it, then who did? With the secret help of his former LAPD partner Lucy Soto, Harry starts digging. Soon his investigation leads him inside the police department, where he realizes that the killer he's been tracking has also been tracking him. Thrilling, fast-paced, and impossible to put down, The Crossing shows without a shadow of doubt that Connelly is "a master of building suspense" (Wall Street Journal).

Det er en hård tid for limousineadvokaten Mickey Haller, der har udvidet forretningen til at omfatte tvangsauktioner, men en af hans klienter anklages for at have myrdet den bankrådgiver, som er ansvarlig for at tage hendes hjem. Haller og hans hold forsøger at få Lisa Trammel frikendt, selvom beviserne peger på, at hun er skyldig, men det viser sig hurtigt, at offeret selv gjorde forretninger på det sorte marked. Som om det ikke var nok, bliver Haller overfaldet … I det mindste er han sikker på, han er på rette spor. Det skrev pressen om ‘Limousineadvokaten’:"... en opdateret udgave af Raymond Chandler, nu med hiphop og crack ... Han svælger ikke i blod og hjernemasse, men dyrker heller ikke sin hovedpersons privatliv med forbitrede koner/mænd, forsømte børn og sure sokker, og tusind tak for det!"? ? ? ? ?
