In tough times, even the criminals are making cut-backs, it seems. Right now, the most significant part of defence lawyer Mickey Haller's business is not about keeping clients out of jail but about keeping a roof over their heads, as the foreclosure industry booms. Lisa Trammel had been a client of Mickey's for eight months, and although so far he'd managed to stop the bank from taking her house, the strain and sense of injustice are beginning to take their toll, and the bank had recently got a restraining order to prevent her protesting against their fraudulent practices. But now the bank's CEO has been found with a bullet in his brain, and Lisa is about to be indicted for murder. For Mickey, it's back to what he does best on the biggest stage of all, but if he thought defending Lisa Trammel was going to be a walk in the park, he'd be wrong. Not only is he about to learn some startling truths about his client, but also about himself, and by the time the verdict is in, Mickey's whole world will have been turned upside down.

The book is an attention catching legal drama built around the real estate bubble burst and resulting home foreclosures by the banks. It was a page turner that kept me up late and then grabbing it to keep going with my morning coffee. The ending has a unique twist and hopefully will be leading to another book in the Lincoln Lawyer series.
