The
Reversal
Lincoln Lawyer #3 / Harry Bosch #16
By Michael Connelly
Michael
Connelly's new novel should be another number one bestseller. His
latest book, The Reversal, has a fast-paced, intriguing
plot about a defense lawyer who changes hats to become a prosecuting
attorney. The story begins when the main character, Mickey Haller,
is asked to lead the prosecution team for a re-trial of a convicted
child killer. The killer feels he will be exonerated because of
new DNA evidence. Through Connelly’s descriptive scenes, readers
feels that they are part of the jury, being able to examine the
evidence presented.
The characters are very well developed. Beside Haller, there is
Connelly fans’ favorite hero, Harry Bosch. Also, making a
cameo appearance is Rachel Walling, the FBI profiler who has worked
with Bosch in past cases. A central theme throughout many of Connelly’s
books is having his protagonists speak for the victims of horrific
crimes, which is also the case in this book. Through the character’s
eyes, the reader is able to sympathize with the victims and their
families.
This novel is very insightful into how the legal system works. The
story is suspenseful, engrossing, and a quick read.
