When defence lawyer Mickey Haller is invited by the Los Angeles
County District Attorney to prosecute a case for him, he knows
something strange is going on. Mickey's one of the best American
legal brains in the business, and to switch sides likes this
would be akin to asking a fox to guard the hen-house. But the
high-profile case of Jason Jessup, a convicted child killer who
spent almost 25 years on death row before DNA evidence freed him,
is an intriguing one.
Eager for the publicity and drawn to the challenge, Mickey takes
the case, with LAPD Detective Harry Bosch on board as his lead
investigator. But as a new trial date is set, it starts to look
like he's been set up. Mickey and Harry are going to have to dig
deep into the past and find the truth about what really happened
to the victim all those years ago in this nail-biting courtroom
drama.
