INSPIRATION FOR THE ORIGINAL SERIES THE LINCOLN LAWYER – THE #1 TV SHOW ON NETFLIX

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly: Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller enlists the help of his half-brother, Harry Bosch, to prove the innocence of a woman convicted of killing her husband.

Defense attorney Mickey Haller is back, taking the long shot cases, where the chances of winning are one in a million. After getting a wrongfully convicted man out of prison, he is inundated with pleas from incarcerated people claiming innocence. He enlists his half brother, retired LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, to weed through the letters, knowing most claims will be false.
 
Bosch pulls a needle from the haystack: a woman in prison for killing her husband, a sheriff’s deputy, but who still maintains her innocence. Bosch reviews the case and sees elements that don’t add up, and a sheriff’s department intent on bringing quick justice in the killing of one of its own.
 
Now Haller has an uphill battle in court, a David fighting Goliaths to vindicate his client. The path for both lawyer and investigator is fraught with danger from those who don’t want the case reopened and will stop at nothing to keep the Haller-Bosch dream team from finding the truth. Packed with intrigue and courtroom drama, Resurrection Walk shows once again that Michael Connelly is “the most consistently superior living crime fiction author” (South Florida Sun Sentinel).

Review

"The most richly accomplished of the brothers’ pairings to date—and given Connelly’s high standards, that’s saying a lot."―Kirkus Reviews (starred)

"A stunning combination of police and legal procedural. . . As always, Connelly makes the tedious work of investigation fascinating as he shuttles between Mickey's and Harry’s hard-bitten points of view."―Booklist (starred)

"Another solid series installment from Connelly. This Lincoln Lawyer/Harry Bosch crossover is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats as Mickey absorbs each legal setback. A brief appearance by Renee Ballard, as well as a few other familiar faces from the Harry Bosch universe, will delight fans."

Review: Resurrection Walk: A Lincoln Lawyer Novel by Michael Connelly
Resurrection Walk: A Lincoln Lawyer Novel by Michael Connelly splits the time between Bosch and his brother, Mickey Haller. At its core, the novel is about a flawed justice system and trying to get innocent people released. But, the read is far more complicated than that.Mickey Haller is doing pretty well. He just got Jorge Ochoa out after years of being wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit and he likes the feeling that kind of victory. He enjoyed that thrill of victory as Ochoa walked out, a sort of “resurrection walk.”These days Bosch works for him so that he has insurance. Bosch was going to let the cancer do what it did, but changed his mind. Bosch is fighting, and when he isn’t in treatment, he is driving Haller around and reading letters from inmates seeking help to overturn convictions.It is their own version of the “Innocence Project” and Bosch thinks he may have spotted a case worth looking at in greater detail. Lucinda Sanz was convicted of manslaughter in the shooting death of her Los Angeles County Deputy Husband. She pleaded nolo to manslaughter as a plea deal. She has no idea who killed her husband in the front yard of their house, or why, but she took the deal because her public defender said to do so. Now she urgently needs to get out and back home to her son.While Haller is doing various things, Bosch does some poking around and is soon questioning the merits of the case against her. Overturning her plea is going to be damn near impossible, but going to Federal Court might be a step in the right direction. That case and the fight to get Lucinda Sanz out of prison is the primary overarching storyline.Other cases, Bosch’s cancer fight, and various ongoing matters make up secondary storylines in a complex novel.While the caner fight is tough reading for those of who have gone through it with a loved one, the overall novel does not spend a ton of time in that storyline. Many things are going on in Resurrection Walk: A Lincoln Lawyer Novel by Michael Connelly. The result is a highly entertaining read that pulls the reader along at a rapid clip. The book is well worth your time.After the publisher skipped my NetGalley review request, my reading copy came by way of the Libby/OverDrive App and the Dallas Public Library System.Kevin R.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haller and Bosch
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2023

First, a little background. Author Michael Connelly, formerly a Los Angeles area police reporter, created Detective Harry Bosch about thirty years ago. Bosch is a fascinating character. He joined LAPD as a patrol officer after serving in the Army in Vietnam as a tunnel rat. He becomes a Hollywood Divisional Homicide Detective, moves to the elite Robbery-Homicide Unit. Then bounces back to Hollywood Division, retires, returns, finally retires, but stays in law enforcement with the small San Fernando Police Department. Then a spell as a private detective followed by a spot as a civilian cold case volunteer investigator. Harry is no super hero. He is shot, stabbed, beaten, even irradiated over the years. He has little regard for authority. He becomes something of a local legend. What I like most about Harry is that he isn’t frozen in time. He’s in his early 70’s, has cancer, and is keenly aware of his shortcomings. His wife was murdered. His daughter is an LAPD Officer. And he has a series of well over twenty novels.
He also has a half-brother named Mickey Haller, known as the “Lincoln Lawyer” because his Lincoln, usually driven by a former client, is his office. He is flamboyant, a recovered alcohol and substance abuser, and extremely good trial lawyer in LA. He also has a series of crime/legal novels. Haller is interesting. The characters who inhabit his world are quirky but neat.
As a retired prosecutor with thirty years experience, I can vouch for the authenticity of both series. The LAPD investigations ring true. The courtroom scenes are letter perfect.
A couple of books ago, Bosch and Haller met. And discovered they were half brothers. At first, kind of an armed truce. But in the last novel, Connelly brought the two together when Haller was wrongly charged with murder and Bosch helped clear him.
I thoroughly enjoyed both series and highly recommend both. If you would like an enjoyable introduction, each series has a streaming tv series. Actually, Bosch has three. Haller one. They are both faithful to the books and quite good. “The Lincoln Lawyer” was also a theatrical release. Only ok..
Now, finally to this book. Haller has just proved the factual innocence of a wrongly convicted, incarcerated accused murderer. Bosch has a rare bone marrow cancer. Bosch goes to work as Haller’s driver/investigator because Haller helped him enter an experimental treatment program. There is well executed tension between them. Bosch doesn’t love working for “the dark side.” Haller has Bosch driving and screening letters from inmates, now familiar with Haller, who are seeking his help in proving their actual innocence. The problem is that “actual innocence” is pretty rare. They settle on the case of a Mexican American woman who pleaded no contest to the killing of her LA County Deputy Sheriff husband and is in prison. Harry reviews the investigation. BTW it is a joy to watch this Ex-LAPD detective unearth and critique the original record. The book becomes a legal thriller and police procedural.. The LA County Sheriff has had a perennial problem with cliques or gangs of Deputies assigned to the jails or high crime Sheriff stations. Reformers allege they are very much like the gangs they are to police. Their defenders argue that their tattoos and mottos simply reflect esprit de corps. (author Connelly is a critic). The deputy who was murdered, allegedly by his wife, belonged to one of those cliques.
Haller and Bosch attack their client’s conviction by filing a federal Habeas corpus petition. That venue requires Haller to prove actual innocence and a gross misapplication of California law by the state courts, a very high rarely reached bar. We have a remarkably well written series of court vignettes. It’s rare that a writer gets a procedure as complicated as this absolutely right. Connelly does. It’s a pleasure to read. The dialogue is great. Connelly keeps the story suspenseful. It seems (no spoilers) that for each step forward, there is an entirely plausible obstacle. Bosch is tasked with actually discovering new evidence. We learn about re-creation of crimes using AI. We learn about tracking a cell phone through geo-fencing. We have the possible involvement of FBI deep cover agents. And maybe some very violent, corrupt bad guys.
I highly recommend this book because of its authenticity……but more because it is a very exciting mystery, police procedural, and legal thriller filled with interesting, engaging characters.
Any of Connelly’s books can be read as a stand alone. I thoroughly enjoyed both series and the streaming series’.

This is a very enjoyable book to read with the well known characters of this series behaving as we hope for and expect. A female has been wrongly convicted of killing her husband and has been incarcerated 5 years as the story opens. This courtroom adventure plays well to the audience of readers who have come to expect the best from this author. The main characters have great appeal as the courtroom drama plays out to a happy ending. There is one tough judge ruling over her courtroom that adds that extra punch.
One does not have to have read the previous Haller books to enjoy. I have not watched video production of any of these books, just enjoyed the books. [although I have slurped up the Bosch series long ago]

5.0 out of 5 stars Harry Serves as Mick’s Investigator—Different Role But Good
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024
Verified Purchase
#7 Resurrection Walk in Lincoln Lawyer Series - Mick has Bosch reviewing cold cases to see if any are worth pursuing as wrongful arrest. Bosch views them with his detective eye of 40 years experience and finds one where the woman has already served 5 years of an 8 year sentence and has claimed her innocence the whole time. Of course, all claim that but in this case it is the truth. Mick decides to take the case and the story begins. It is an excellent procedural legal story as only Connelly can write. You don’t know what the outcome will be until it is decided. Bosch has retired from the LAPD and is undergoing a clinical trial for his radiation exposure. The only way for him to get the trial is through insurance and that is why he is working for Mickey Haller, his half brother and aka The Lincoln Lawyer. He’s doing it for his daughter. Great read. Hope the next book has Bosch healthy.

The story and plot are both good. Haller like always is the leading character and what a character. If I ever
need a defense lawyer I'd like to find one like him if he exists. I read the book late at night in three nights.
The last night I went to bed almost at dawn, I just couldn't put it down.

The only thing I dislike is that Bosch is now the third or fourth "violin" in the last three or four books. Either it's a Renée Ballard or Mickey Haller book.

The author should retire him, not kill him, just retired. He could go back to him for information or consulting for a paragraph or two in his next books. Not more than that unless he writes a prequel when Bosch was young. I hate to see the author wasting such a good detective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unschuldig im Gefängnis – Ein Fall für den Lincoln Lawyer und Harry Bosch
Reviewed in Germany on March 5, 2024
Verified Purchase
Dieser Roman von Michael Connelly ist der neueste Justizthriller mit dem Lincoln-Lawyer Mickey Haller in Los Angeles. Dieses Mal aber nicht nur mit ihm, denn als zweiter Protagonist ist sein Halbbruder Harry Bosch, vormals Detective beim LAPD, dabei.

Man hat noch keine fünfzig Seiten gelesen, da hat Harry Bosch bereits den ersten Fall gelöst. Harry arbeitet jetzt offiziell als Ermittler für Haller, weil er wegen dieser Anstellung krankenversichert ist. Die Krankenversicherung braucht er, um seinen Krebs zu besiegen. Haller unterstützt ihn hierbei mit allen Mitteln.

Allerdings hatte Harry Bosch – das kann man in allen Roman mit ihm nachlesen – ein Problem damit, für Strafverteidiger zu arbeiten. Als Cop hat er sein Leben lang Verbrecher in den Knast gebracht. Er hasst Verteidiger, die versuchen, mit windigen Tricks die Verbrecher vor dem Knast zu bewahren.

Trotzdem hat er seine Aufgaben bei seinem Halbbruder gefunden. Er durchleuchtet alte Fälle von Verurteilten, die behaupten, unschuldig im Gefängnis zu sitzen. Haller hatte vor kurzem einen Gefangenen mit Bosch Hilfe herausgeholt. Nun wird er mit Briefen und Bitten überschüttet, auch deren Absender zu helfen. Harry Bosch hat den Auftrag, diese Fälle unter die Lupe zu nehmen, sie zu filtern und dem Lincoln-Lawyer einen Vorschlag zu machen, bei welchem Fall es sich lohnt, ihn in Angriff zu nehmen.

Einen zu unrecht Verurteilten aus dem Gefängnis zu holen, finanziert Haller selbst, macht dies also probono. Geld verdient er erst, wenn er erfolgreich war und der Staat wegen der unrechtmäßigen Verurteilung auf Schadensersatz verklagt werden kann.

Harry Bosch ist mit einem Fall fündig geworden, der von Beginn an sehr heikel ist, aber starke Hinweise gibt, dass die Gefangene tatsächlich unschuldig im Knast sitzt. Sie hatte vor fünf Jahren ein Geständnis abgelegt, ihren Ex-Mann, einen Cop, erschossen zu haben. Dafür wurde ihr eine geringere Strafe zugesagt. Ihr damaliger Anwalt hatte sie zu diesem Deal überredet.

Haller und Bosch nehmen sich der Sache an und der Roman wird ein rasantes hin und her von Argumenten und Gegenargumenten zwischen Staatsanwaltschaft und Strafverteidigung.

Michael Connellys Lincoln-Lawyer-Reihe ist berühmt für seine packenden Gerichtsprozesse, die ohne Schnörkel auskommen. Auch in diesem Buch ist das nicht anders. Die Kapitel sind kurz und konzentrieren sich meist auf eine einzige Szene. Trotzdem sind sie genauso mitreißend aufgebaut. Zum Beispiel wird am Ende eines Kapitels angedeutet, dass im nächsten Kapitel ein Telefonat stattfindet. Obwohl man bereits weiß, wie das Gespräch für den Protagonisten enden soll, damit er seine Verteidigung aufrechterhalten kann, bleibt man als Leser unsicher, ob Haller das bekommt, was er will. Wenn diese Art von Spannungskette fortgesetzt wird, wird das Buch »Resurrection Walk« zu einem wahren Pageturner.

Michael Connelly nutzt auch in »Resurrection Walk« konsequent sein bereits existierendes Figurenensemble. Die Mitarbeiter von Haller werden dem Leser vorgestellt, darunter eine seiner beiden Ex-Frauen, von denen eine mit seinem jetzigen Fahrer und Ermittler verheiratet ist. Und auch die andere Ex-Frau, eine Staatsanwältin, bekommt wieder einen Auftritt in diesem Roman. Dieses Universum ist der Grund, weshalb ich persönlich die Bücher dieses Autors so gerne lese. Man taucht in eine andere Welt ein, die nichts mit unserem Alltag zu tun hat. In dieser Welt lernt man immer wieder faszinierende Figuren kennen, die mit spannenden und aufregenden Biografien aufwarten.

Hier mal eine kleine Episode aus »Resurrection Walk« zwischen den beiden Brüdern. Wegen seiner Anstellung fährt Bosch den Anwalt. Der ist eigentlich bekannt dafür, dass er in seinem Auto, dem Lincoln mit Extra-Büroausstattung, arbeitet. Als Haller wieder hinten einsteigen will, haut Bosch ihm die Tür vor der Nase zu. Haller möge bitte vorne auf den Beifahrersitz Platz nehmen. Haller schaut Bosch verwundert an. Da kann er nicht arbeiten. „Sonst fühle ich mich wie dein Chauffeur. Bin ich aber nicht, ich bin dein Ermittler“, sagt er.

Im Roman gibt es noch andere Geschichten und Ereignisse, besonders am Anfang, die zwar wichtig sind, aber immer wieder eigene Konflikte haben. Keine einzige Nebenhandlung wird sofort gelöst. Stattdessen werden diese Geschichten nach und nach enthüllt und können am Ende auch die Hauptgeschichte beeinflussen.

Unfaire Urteile und Prozesse können verheerende Auswirkungen haben. Falsche Beweise und eine ungleiche Verteidigung führen oft zu ungerechten Verurteilungen. Es ist bedauerlich, dass viele Häftlinge ohne ausreichende Lobby und finanzielle Mittel kämpfen müssen. Um diesen Missstand zu bekämpfen, setzt sich der Lincoln-Lawyer gerne für solche falsch Beschuldigten oder Verteilten ein.

Dieser Thriller schildert die Abläufe unheimlich authentisch und brillant. Deshalb ist er immer eine Empfehlung wert. Spannend, unterhaltsam, familiär!

5.0 out of 5 stars A 5 star testament to Connelly’s enduring talent and a must-read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 21, 2024

Michael Connelly, the master of Los Angeles crime fiction, does it again with “Resurrection Walk.” Over 30 years into his incredible career, he’s not slowing down. This latest installment in the Lincoln Lawyer series not only delivers a captivating legal thriller, but also masterfully brings together two iconic characters: Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch.

The story starts with Haller, riding the wave of successfully freeing an innocent man. Inundated with claims of innocence, he enlists his half-brother, the retired but ever-vigilant Bosch, to help sift through the truth. Together, they uncover a seemingly impossible case: a woman imprisoned for murdering her ex-husband, a sheriff’s deputy. Despite the long odds and powerful forces aligned against them, Haller and Bosch embark on a relentless pursuit of justice.

The courtroom drama takes center stage, with Haller weaving his magic and Bosch’s investigative prowess shining through. The twists and turns keep you guessing until the very end, while the intricate legal battles are both thrilling and meticulously detailed. This isn’t just a courtroom drama; it’s a deep dive into the underbelly of Los Angeles, exposing corruption and hidden agendas.

The contrasting personalities and complementary skills of Haller and Bosch create a perfect blend of wit, grit, and emotional depth. For fans of either character, this book is a delight. For newcomers, it’s a perfect entry point into Connelly’s captivating world. The LA atmosphere is palpable and the plot is pure adrenaline.

“Resurrection Walk” is a 5 star testament to Connelly’s enduring talent and a must-read for any crime fiction enthusiast.
