About the Lincoln Lawyer Series

The Lincoln Lawyer books are written by Michael Connelly. The main character is Mickey Haller. He’s a lawyer, kind of — but not what you’d call a regular one. Instead of working in an office, he does his job from the backseat of his car — a Lincoln. He drives around Los Angeles to meet clients. A lot of the folks he deals with are the kind most lawyers tend to steer clear of — minor offenders or people tied to motorcycle clubs.

In the courtroom Mickey’s not there for the truth alone. He is there to think on his feet, to react fast and to come out on top in a game which at times is biased against you.

The first book starts with a case that seems simple. A rich guy from Beverly Hills is accused of hurting someone. It looks like an easy win for Mickey, maybe even a big comeback. But things get complicated. The case is more dangerous than he thought. Someone close to him dies. Now, he’s not just working on a case — he’s trying to stay alive.

This book series became a popular show on Netflix. The story moves fast, the characters talk like real people, and Mickey is not perfect — but that’s what makes him interesting. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next.
