Michael Connelly:
RESURRECTION WALK
Mickey Haller, the “Lincoln Lawyer”, takes on the seemingly unwinnable case of a Latina woman who has served five years in prison for the murder of her husband, a murder she confessed to at her trial. She claims she was pressured into the false confession.
Haller’s dogged investigative assistant, half-brother and now his chauffeur is retired LAPD detective Harry Bosch, hero of more than twenty thrillers by Michael Connelly and currently undergoing chemotherapy for blood cancer. This case progresses from police procedural to courtroom drama. High drama indeed in the courtroom as startling new evidence comes to light. As is so often the case in Connelly’s fiction, corruption is at the heart of the story.
Connolly has served up close to forty novels to date. This is another fine example of his writing: vivid characterisation, a taut plot with frequent revelations and enough tension to keep the reader turning the page. It’s often said – and it’s the truth – that nobody does it better than Michael Connelly.
