The Lincoln Lawyer: Mystery Profile

The origin story of LA defense attorney Mickey Haller is told by the #1 New York Times bestselling author. Michael Connelly reveals in this concise and absorbing account the work and strokes of luck that led to the creation of Mickey Haller, the character featured in multiple bestselling novels and the successful Netflix series. Connelly unveils the attorneys, both fictional and real-life, who influenced the development of the sharp-witted lawyer who excels in the back seat. He also mentions the librarian who sparked his future literary career in the hot and humid Florida of his youth. This narrative not only paints a portrait of Mickey Haller but also provides an intriguing glimpse into the mind of the acclaimed crime writer who brought him to life, alongside Harry Bosch and other memorable characters. "Haller is the type of smooth, cynical performer who enjoys turning every legal procedure into a grand spectacle. There's always a sense of grave seriousness underlying Connelly's entertaining courtroom theatrics," says Marilyn Stasio of The New York Times. "While Connelly may initially appear as a highly skilled crime novelist, a closer look reveals him as a sharp and insightful chronicler of the world in which crime occurs - our world," adds Jonathan Yardley of The Washington Post.
