Description
The Reversal by Michael Connelly is a legal thriller and the third novel in the Mickey Haller (Lincoln Lawyer) series. The story follows defence attorney Mickey Haller, who is unexpectedly recruited by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office to prosecute a high-profile retrial. The case centres on Jason Jessup, a man convicted of child murder decades earlier who has since been released after new DNA evidence called the original verdict into question.
Reluctantly stepping into the role of prosecutor, Haller works alongside Detective Harry Bosch as his investigator. As they re-examine the original case, they begin uncovering inconsistencies and buried truths that suggest the case may not be as clear-cut as it first appeared. What begins as a legal reversal quickly becomes a complex investigation into justice, memory and the reliability of past convictions.
The Reversal by Michael Connelly is a tightly plotted courtroom thriller that combines legal drama with investigative crime fiction, ideal for readers who enjoy intelligent mysteries, courtroom strategy and interconnected detective universes.
