SynopsisThings are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is ready to go back to the courtroom. When Hollywood lawyer Jerry Vincent is murdered, Haller inherits his biggest case yet: the defense of Walter Elliott, a prominent studio executive accused of murdering his wife and her lover. But as Haller prepares for the case that could launch him into the big time, he learns that Vincent's killer may be coming for him next.
Enter Harry Bosch. Determined to find Vincent's killer, he is not opposed to using Haller as bait. But as danger mounts and the stakes rise, these two loners realize their only choice is to work together.
My Two Cents Worth
In The Brass Verdict, Connelly brings Mickey Haller, the troubled attorney, and the venerable detective Harry Bosch together again in this sequel to The Lincoln Lawyer.
The story certainly stands on it's own merits, with solid character introductions, and I don't feel it necessary to read all the Bosch prequels to appreciate the relationship, but I highly recommend reading The Lincoln Lawyer first to get up to speed on Mickey Haller.
Connelly asserts himself as one of the most clever and creative writers in the courtroom/thriller genre with The Brass Verdict. He weaves a tight tale of suspense and intrigue that gets off to a torrid pace right from the start, and seems to gain momentum throughout the entire 547 pages. This is one of the most solid and engaging novels I have read in several months and I recommend you schedule some quality time to give it your undivided attention. It is well worth the investment.

The Brass Verdict is begging for a sequel.
