In a tough economy, Hall The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly is a tense, timely legal thriller that places defense attorney Mickey Haller "Lincoln Lawyer"at the center of a high-stakes murder case ripped from the headlines of the financial crisis.

In a tough economy, Haller's practice has shifted from high-profile criminals to the less glamorous world of foreclosure defense, helping people on the brink of losing their homes. This change in business leads him to Lisa Trammel, a vocal client who is fiercely battling the bank trying to take her property.
When a high-ranking bank employee is found murdered, Trammel becomes the prime suspect. Haller is suddenly thrust back into a major murder trial, facing mounting public pressure, challenging evidence, and a client who is both compelling and frustratingly unpredictable.
The novel is a masterclass in courtroom strategy. Connelly uses Haller's signature tactics, including his knack for jury selection, the methodical dismantling of witnesses, and the creation of compelling alternate theories. The legal chess match is fast-paced and meticulous, making the courtroom scenes the heart of the book.
Why You Should Read It
Timely and Relevant: It expertly weaves the tension of the foreclosure crisis and corporate greed into the fabric of a murder mystery, giving the legal battle a sharp edge of social commentary.
High-Stakes Courtroom Drama: The book is packed with the kind of intense, detail-oriented legal maneuvering that Connelly is famous for. You will be actively guessing and debating the truth alongside Haller.
Character Depth: It delves deeper into Mickey Haller's own moral compass and his struggle to reconcile the demands of his job with his personal sense of right and wrong.
The trial is a high-wire act where the tension never lets up, building to an ending that includes a final, powerful surprise after the verdict is read. It's a solid, gripping entry in the Mickey Haller series that will keep any fan of legal thrillers hooked until the very last page. ...more "
