The Brass Verdict

Description

Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent's killer may be coming for him next.

Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent's killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together.Michael Connelly is the author of thirty-one previous novels, including #1 New York Times bestsellers Two Kinds of Truth, The Late Show, and The Wrong Side of Goodbye. His books, which include the Harry Bosch series and the Lincoln Lawyer series, have sold more than seventy-four million copies worldwide. Connelly is a former newspaper reporter who has won numerous awards for his journalism and his novels and is the executive producer of Bosch, starring Titus Welliver. He spends his time in California and Florida.”The Brass Verdict has the sneaky metabolism of any Connelly book. It starts slowly, moves calmly, hides pertinent bits of information in plain sight and then abruptly ratchets up its energy for the denouement….In the midst of this new story, Mickey rebounds with a vengeance….Like Harry Bosch’s mojo, Mickey Haller’s is liable to work well for a long time.”—Janet Maslin, New York Times“Connelly is firing on all cylinders in this epic page-turner. The intriguing story line, the chance to view Bosch from another perspective, and Haller’s reappearance as a main character add up to a fantastic read. One of the best thrillers of the year.”—Jeff Ayers, Library Journal“The answer to every Connelly fan’s dream: Hieronymus Bosch meets the Lincoln Lawyer….By turns wary, competitive, complementary, cooperative and mutually predatory….Connelly brings his two sleuths together in a way that honors them both”—Kirkus Reviews“Connelly once again hits it out of the park in the tightly written, fast-paced and sharply imagined The Brass Verdict….Connelly builds to some breathtaking twists before all comes to a close. And a more perfect end to the maze he has drawn is difficult to imagine.”—Robin Vidimos, Denver Post“If at first encounter Connelly seems primarily an exceptionally accomplished writer of crime novels, at closer examination he is also a mordant and knowing chronicler of the world in which crime takes place, i.e., our world….Aterrific ride.”—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post“A beautifully executed crime thriller….Bosch might have met his match in the wily Haller, and readers will delight in their sparring.”—Publishers Weekly
