About the book
Mickey Haller has fallen on tough times. He expands his business into foreclosure defense, only to see one of his clients accused of killing the banker she blames for trying to take away her home. Mickey puts his team into high gear to exonerate Lisa Trammel, even though the evidence and his own suspicions tell him his client is guilty. Soon after he learns that the victim had black market dealings of his own, Haller is assaulted, too, and he's certain he's on the right trail. Mickey Haller's newest client is Lisa Trammel, a young woman accused of killing the banker she blames for trying to take away her home, and despite mounting evidence and his own suspicions that his client is guilty, Mickey vows to clear Lisa's name.
