Mickey elects to represent himself and is forced to mount his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles.

That is the law of innocence. In his highest stakes case yet, the Lincoln Lawyer fights for his life and proves again why he is "a worthy colleague of Atticus Finch . . . in the front of the pack in the legal thriller game" (Los Angeles Times).

HOW DO YOU FIND A KILLER WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU? 'AS EXCITING AS ANYTHING CONNELLY HAS WRITTEN' THE TIMES * * * * * Jack McEvoy is a reporter with a track record in finding killers. But he's never been accused of being one himself. Jack went on one date with Tina Portrero. The next thing he knows, the police are at his house telling Jack he's a suspect in her murder. Maybe it's because he doesn't like being accused of a crime he didn't commit. Or maybe it's because the method of her murder is so chilling that he can't get it out of his head. But as he uses his journalistic skills to open doors closed to the police, Jack walks a thin line between suspect and detective - between investigation and obsession - on the trail of a killer who knows his victims better than they know themselves... Riveting, original and terrifying - this is a masterpiece from #1 bestseller Michael Connelly. * * * * * CRIME DOESN'T COME BETTER THAN CONNELLY.

Reneé Ballard er forflyttet til natholdet hos LAPD. Hendes nye partner vil helst være hjemme hos familien, så Ballard driver som en ensom ulv fra den ene sag til den anden. En transseksuel kvinde er næsten blevet banket til døde. På natklubben, The Dancers, er fem mennesker blevet skudt, og hvem kan Ballard stole på blandt sine kolleger i en mandsdomineret politistyrke? Scenen er skyggesiden af Los Angeles. Den side, som den pensionerede kriminalassistent, Harry Bosch, også opererer i, men Ballard går sine egne veje om natten, og først når dagen gryr, finder hun ro på sit surfbræt.“… herligt præget af Connollys ferme og faktuelle håndværk, jazzede sydcaliforniske impressionisme og sikre tæft for temposkiftende spændingskurver. Det er simpelt hen en lise og en fornøjelse …”Politiken"En af verdens bedste krimiforfattere har gjort det igen ... Der er spænding på til sidste punktum, og jeg glæder mig til at stifte yderligere bekendtskab med den kvindelige strømer med hang til surfing." Københavneravisen

Dengang Bosch var helt grøn bag ørerne i drabsafdelingen, var John hans mentor. Nu ligger John i graven, men han efterlader sig en mordefterforskning, som plagede ham til det sidste. Harry Bosch og Renée Ballard slår pjalterne sammen for at opklare den tyve år gamle sag, og det umage makkerpar opererer i Los Angeles’ kriminelle natteliv som lys i det meget tætte mørke. Spørgsmålet er, om John virkelig forsøgte at bringe sagen for dagens lys, eller om han havde grund til at skjule den i mørket. Når lyset bliver ild, kan det brænde alt for stærkt.“Connelly er uden lige, når det handler om politiromaner, og endnu engang beviser han, at han er formens moderne mester.” Publishers Weekly
