Mickey Haller's criminal defense practice has slowed, so he has been working with people whose homes are being foreclosed. When one of his new clients, Lisa Trammel, is accused of murdering Mitchell Boudorant, the banker who is trying to take away her home, Mickey takes her case. With evidence pointing at his client, Mickey and his team have an uphill battle to craft a believable defense.

This book takes us from the arrest, through the collection of evidence, the preliminary hearing, a courtroom battle between the prosecution and defense, and the testimony of each witness in the case. I thought it was well written, though I did get a little bored through the middle of the book. Overall, a very good legal thriller. My rating: 4 Stars.
