Editorial Review:
Things are finally looking up for defense attorney Mickey Haller. After two years of wrong turns, Haller is back in 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. Bringing together Michael Connelly's two most popular characters, The Brass Verdictis sure to be his biggest book yet. (2008)

My verdict--superb! As a big fan of Michael Connelly, there's nothing better than 2 of his characters meeting. Here Haller and Bosch meet due to a murder and the story just gets better from there. As always, excellent writing, well developed characters and a few surprises along the way makes another Michael Connelly mystery one of the best things I've read in the past year. I hope we see more of Bosch and Haller together soon.

Lawyer Mickey Haller is here connected with LAPD detective Harry Bosch from the author's other series. The plot is complicated but easy enough to follow. Haller inherits a law practice from a murdered lawyer, a practice that includes a high-profile murder case involving a haughtt Hollywood producer, accused of killing his wife and her lover. Something is wrong with the case, and the plot revolves around that. The... more info
Enjoyable but Misleading I was bummed because when I read the summary, I though that this would be a Bosch/Haller showdown, when it was only Haller in center stage and Bosch was the supporting actor. It should've been informed as a Haller book :(. I expected more interaction between the two. And to be honest, I always prefer the detective/crime solving life of Bosch more than the life of Haller as a lawyer and the drama at the court. The book did move fast. The case solving is something I have watched over at one of the CSI:NY... more info
