The Law of Innocence cover

In The Law of Innocence, Mickey Haller faces a life-altering trial when he is accused of murder, forcing him to defend himself and uncover the true killer.

In The Law of Innocence, defense attorney Mickey Haller finds himself in a precarious position when he is pulled over by the police. What was supposed to be a routine drive home after winning a case quickly turns into a nightmare when officers discover the body of a former client in the trunk of his car. Faced with murder charges, Haller must navigate the legal system from behind bars, a situation that tests his skills and resolve like never before.

As he prepares to defend himself, Haller realizes that the evidence against him is overwhelming. He must employ every legal trick and strategy at his disposal to prove his innocence and uncover the truth. The stakes are high, as he knows that a simple not-guilty verdict won't be enough; he must find the real killer to truly reclaim his freedom. The courtroom becomes a battleground, where Haller's wit and determination will be put to the ultimate test.

The Law of Innocence is a gripping tale of justice, deception, and the lengths one man will go to clear his name. With a blend of legal intrigue and thrilling suspense, Michael Connelly delivers a masterful narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. As Haller delves deeper into the case, he discovers that the law of innocence is not just a legal principle but a complex moral dilemma that challenges his beliefs and convictions.
