The Lincoln Lawyer (2005)
By Michael Connelly
Rating : 3.5/5
Genre : Court Room Drama, Detective, Mystery,Fiction.
Very suspenseful and gripping. As it got closer to the trial in the case, it became all the more heart thumping because the client the Lincoln lawyer is trying to save is the culprit. We don't want him to get out and we see no way he could be sent in!
Its a very novel situation the lawyer finds himself in. He is implicated in a murder investigation that he didn't commit. He has to defend a client who is not innocent and who was responsible for putting away another client of his for life!
Michael Haller is a defence attorney in Los Angeles. Most of his cases are defending drug dealers and prostitutes who are usually caught doing the wrong thing. He gets their punishment reduced or cuts short their stay in the jail houses. He also sometimes does cases where the victim is accused of murder and one such case was against Jesus Menendez. He was accused of rape and murder of a prostitute in LA. The man is convicted for life due to ample incriminating evidence despite his pleas of innocence. Few years after this, a rich real estate agent Louis Roulet chooses him as his defense attorney. He is accused of brutal assault against a prostitute. Soon Haller finds connection between the two cases and deduces that Louis Roulet is not as innocent as he claims himself to be. He wants to convict Roulet and get out Menendez .. but he can't do anything without getting debarred or worse still,going down in a murder investigation hanging over his head. How does he escape?
