Product 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.

Bringing together Michael Connelly's two most popular characters, The Brass Verdictis sure to be his biggest book yet. (2008)

- Excellent
First Sentence: Everybody lies.

Michael Heller had decided to return to practice but not at this level. A former colleague is murdered and had designated Heller as the attorney to take over all his cases should something happen to him. One of those cases is defending producer Walter Elliot. Elliot has been accused of murdering his wife and her lover. Elliot insists on going to trial as soon as possible and seems very unconcerned about the trial.

In the meantime, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch is giving Heller a hard time about Vincent's murder and information Heller may have to help Bosch solve the case.

Although Heller is the protagonist, it was interesting to see how Connelly used Bosch as almost the antagonist here. Heller is a very interesting ... Read More

- The Verdict is - Excellent!
I loved the Lincoln Lawyer and although you don't need to have read that one first to follow this storyline, I would still recommend doing so, just so you get a better appreciation of this book's man character Mickey Haller. I say that because there are a fair few people out there who are only interested in Harry Bosch novels and won't touch Connelly's great standalone storylines (hence the Lincoln Lawyer) so if you are one of those people, you may be a bit disappointed as 90% of this novel is through the eyes of Mickey Haller, Bosch isn't a just a cameo appearance by any means, but he's definitely a side character in this one. But you will learn something major about him in the final pages. Haller is a great character though and you're missing out if you're not getting into him as well! ... Read More

I am very unhappy that I have not received this book. I have written two e-mails to Duffleback Book Company, and I have received no reply. I have been a customer of yours for quite some time now and have never had this problem. This gives you a "black eye" in my opinion. I wish you would help to solve this problem as I do want this book very much.

- My verdict--superb!
As a big fan of Michael Connelly, there's nothing better than 2 of his characters meeting. Here Haller and Bosch meet due to a murder and the story just gets better from there. As always, excellent writing, well developed characters and a few surprises along the way makes another Michael Connelly mystery one of the best things I've read in the past year. I hope we see more of Bosch and Haller together soon.

- One more irresistible lead character for Connelly
I have no excuse for ot keeing up with connelly's books. For some reason, I haven't read any cince CITY OF BONES and I obviously have some catching up to do.I do wish I'd read THE LINCOLN LAWYER first, but will catch that one soon. In the meantime, I'm glad I've met his first leading lawyer protagonist, Mickey Haller, and the bonus of Hieronymous Bosch makes this an even more delightful find.I'm sure anyone reading this review is already aware of the basic plot, the fact that Haller's colleague Jerry Vincent is murdered and Haller inherits his caseload including a major murder case in which he's defending a movie producer. Connelly's insight into the working of a major trial and the thinking of the lawyer who's not necessarily convinced of his client's innocence is the focal point here. ... Read More
