Simone Carpenter _odus_ollens — ‘Less is always more when it comes to the defense.’ Times are tough for Mickey Haller, the lawyer we first met in ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’. While crime continues, few clients seem to have money to pay lawyers. So, in order to make a living, Mickey has moved on to one of the few growth areas in contemporary law: foreclosure defence. For four or five thousand dollars a case, Mickey can help people stay in their homes for a little longer. Things seem to be going comparatively smoothly for Mickey, working out of the back of his Lincoln, until his first foreclosure client, Lisa Trammel, is charged with the murder of Mitchell Durant, the banker who held her mortgage. Lisa Trammel has lost her job as a teacher. Her husband has already left, leaving her with a young son and a massive mortgage. But there’s another side to Lisa, and while Mickey is committed to representing her, he doesn’t have to like her. What he does have to do is try to cast enough doubt to achieve a not guilty verdict. This search leads him into dangerous territory where he also discovers that organized crime is part of the mortgage business. The first half of the novel concerns the investigation and the second half the trial. There are a number of interesting characters and, of course, at least one twist in the tale. The trial has its own suspense and, while it’s clear that the process is about winning rather than truth, Mickey’s thinking about the cost, and the future. My first Michael Connelly novel was ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ and I’m a Mickey Haller fan. This novel had me turning the pages, keen to find out how the case would end. While the story held my attention throughout, I have mixed feelings about aspects of it. I enjoyed the courtroom suspense; I’m interested in Mickey Haller’s personal angst about integrity, but less interested in some aspects of his increasingly convoluted personal life. That said, I’ll be looking for the next Haller book because I’m keen to see what will happen next. ‘In the courtroom there are three things for the lawyer to always consider: the knowns, the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns’ Jennifer Cameron-Smith
