Publisher's Synopsis
In tough times, crime is one of the few things that still pays. For defense attorney Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, most of his new business is not keeping people out of jail, but keeping a roof over their heads. Lisa Trammel was Mickey's first foreclosure client. For eight months, he's stopped the bank from taking her house. But now the bank's CEO is found beaten to death, and Lisa is the prime suspect. As Haller steps back into the theatre of a murder trial, he will learn some shocking truths, not only about his client, but also himself. Because this is a trial where the last surprise comes after the verdict is in.
