When it comes to series mysteries, there's everybody else, and then there's Michael Connelly. Is he really that good, you ask? Oh yeah, he's really that good. --Bruce Tierney, BookPage Taken together, Connelly's novels form an indispensable, compelling chronicle of LA . . . His books are rich in the details and meanings of seismic events that have formed the rough contours of LA law and order. --Jonathan Shapiro, Los Angeles Times Mickey Haller is the kind of slick, cynical showman who can't resist making high drama out of every routine legal procedure . . . But Connelly is himself a master manipulator, and there's always something deadly serious behind his entertaining courtroom high jinks. --Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review Confession: I'm addicted to the crime fiction of Michael Connelly, with a bullet next to the page-turners featuring attorney Mickey Haller, defender of desperate scumbags and the occasional lost cause. --Peter Travers, Rolling Stone A tightly crafted thriller, with some nice crossover flair to boot... Haller is the creation of legendary crime author, Michael Connelly, and has his own wildly popular series under his better known moniker, The Lincoln Lawyer. --Dwyer Murphy, Crimereads A supremely intelligent, well-paced courtroom thriller by a modern master... L.A. defense attorney Mickey Haller takes on the hardest case of his career in bestseller Connelly's superlative sixth Lincoln Lawyer novel. --Publisher's Weekly (starred review) Praise for Michael Connelly There is no better news than a new book from the great Michael Connelly. --Mike Lupica, New York Daily News Praise for The Law of Innocence A fine legal thriller and a revealing character study... Connelly has always displayed great ability to write courtroom scenes, combining thrust-and-parry exchanges between defense and prosecution with a look at the personal motives driving all the players. He does all that here, too, but the extended focus on the pretrial discovery process, with Bosch and investigator Cisco Wojciechowski doing the legwork while Haller sits in jail, gives the novel a double-barreled appeal. --Bill Ott, Booklist (starred review) Stellar... As Connelly builds tension, he weaves in rumors of a spreading virus; people begin wearing masks and chaos erupts at the supermarket. Intelligently plotted, The Law of Innocence again proves Connelly is a master storyteller. --Oline H. Cogdill, South Florida Sun Sentinel Gripping... Fans who snapped up Michael Connelly's recent Jack McEvoy crime novel, Fair Warning, are in for another treat from the blockbuster author. --Christina Ianzito, AARP A wonderfully twisty legal thriller... As always, Connelly does a splendid job with both the courtroom drama and the suspenseful, often dangerous process behind it... He also skillfully weaves in references to the pandemic... by the end of the book, the full-blown pandemic sets the stage for an explosive finale. --Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bays Times One of the finest legal thrillers of the last decade... Connelly's novels have long been distinguished by his mastery of the complexities of the justice system including an ability to get police and courtroom procedures exactly right. Combine this with a cast of well-drawn characters, writing as precise as a Patek Philippe watch, and a propulsive plot. --Bruce DeSilva, Associated Press
